The issue with the way bike policy is implemented is that it's always shamelessly dishonest. Green paint isn't going to make a 50 year old karen playing with her phone stop playing with her phone. Foam hat isn't going to protect your body when it's run over by 7000 pounds of steel. But karen gets away with murder because policymakers, cops, and courts have unlimited empathy for the driver (the real victim here), and nearly zero for the deceased. So you can just lay down some green paint and make riding without a foam hat a criminal offense and say "see? I care about your safety!"
