Ffs. What is it with bike stuff and people feeling personally attacked?
I just blocked (figured 'mute' would just lead to them annoying others without me even realizing) another person claiming that my cone & cargobike existing on the bike lane directly endangered the cyclist.
Considering this cyclist overlooked both a large cargotrike & "highway type"
traffic cone I'm very happy I had placed them there as the alternative would've been crashing into my toddler (with high-viz headgear ).

@Pepijn@mastodon.online There is a concept here in the US called “last chance to avoid collision.” Dude had the last chance and didn’t, because he was distracted - just like if he had been driving a car while focused on a cell phone, which is universally acknowledge to be driver error. People slagging you have their heads, as we say in the paratroopers, up their fourth point of contact.
