1. >All cyclists will from then on be obligated to **try** to follow the ordinance

   “Officer, I really tried to wear the helmet, but it didn’t fit my thick head…”

2. What really? That’s kinda stupid I don’t want to wear one and mess up my hair. How about make it safer for bicyclists instead of catering to cars! Denmark and the Netherlands manage it just fine with no helmet laws.

3. Maybe also make them actually stop at red light and shit.

4. It will come into effect on April 1st, hmmm….
