I felt like I got dropped into the middle of a book with this. Is this accurate?

1) Bicycle helmut laws are enacted 2) As a result, the amount of bicycling has dropped in NZ precipitously 3) Leading to all sorts of negative things like higher obesity and pollution 4) And the medical benefits aren't that significant

Therefore mandatory bike helmut laws are more damaging than good?



That's pretty much it. A great example of people wanting to do something and think of the children all rolled into one.
