Singletary says the ordinance requiring helmets is more concerned with the appearance of bicycle safety than actual safety. Why? If they were actually concerned about safety they would make more bicycle lanes and educate drivers, not mandate helmets.

This is an action Singletary says the city would do if it actually cared about safety more than appearing to be safe. Since the city didn’t do it, they don’t actually care more.

The argument does not claim the city misunderstands, it claims the city is not concerned with actual safety.

This claim acts as partial support because it shows what the city would do, but didn’t, if it actually cared about safety.

Singletary does not claim the helmet measure is ineffective. He claims that it shows the city doesn’t truly care about safety, effective or not.

There is no evidence that the city will implement this in the future. Singletary only presents it as something that would have happened if the city cared about safety.

The conclusion is not that the city has an overriding interest in its public image. The conclusion is that the city prioritized the appearance of safety over actual safety. While this may be true, it is an inaccurate depiction of what the statement is supporting.
