More hostility towards cyclists.....

IMHO I think you're taking this way too personally, love. Someone was injured and the authorities are under pressure to do something constructive to prevent future injuries.

It's clearly not your fault that this is happening, and unfortunately, apart from setting a good example, there's not a whole lot you can do to change it, as far as I can tell. Hopefully it'll eventually blow over and things will return to more or less normal.

In the meantime I think your best best, like others have suggested, is to just chill and hopefully the people who caused the problems in the first place will have their asses nailed to the wall or they'll go away and find a new sandbox to play in.

Sorry, that's all I've got. Wishing you well.
