Instead of confronting aggressive motor vehicle drivers who ignore their responsibility to drive safely and to accord cyclists room on the road, they decided to repeal a law that enhances safety for cyclists.

Instead of confronting roadway design that puts cyclists at risk by having them share road space with motor vehicles that travel at higher than permitted speeds, they decided to repeal a law that enhances safety for cyclists.

They locality has done an insufficient job of making it even safer by fixing the aforementioned problems, and therefore decided that the helmet law was not good in some fashion, despite no actual empirical evidence suggesting that the helmets aren’t making it safer for cyclists.
