Can we talk about how a fallen tree branch in the bike lane changed my whole view of those new barriers?

I was dead set against the concrete separators on West 7th Street until a giant cottonwood limb came down during that storm Tuesday morning and I watched it bounce harmlessly off the barrier instead of hitting me square in the chest, so now I guess I owe the city an apology, has anyone else had a close call that made them flip sides on bike lane infrastructure?

Did you almost go over your handlebars? That's the kind of thing that makes you rethink everything.

Ngl, I actually love that moment. It wakes you up and makes you pay attention again, which is way better than zoning out.
