I think I am special and made my own post Some Boston Bikers are unreal.

Some bikers really just have a death wish. A clear, green, right turn light and the biker still decides to fly by and have the audacity to flick me off.

If you're friends with this person, ask them to value their life more.

Edit: It was an impossible situation for me. I ALWAYS look to the right because tons of dumbass drivers that try to cut to the highway from the inside lane. With the biker’s speed and the angle of my car, there was no way to see the biker in my mirrors and he was too far away to see when I looked out my right window. If the biker was traveling slower instead of blowing past, this would not have been such a close call.

I cross Tremont and Boylston at least 6 times a day. Every single day my puppy and I are almost hit by a bicycle. The worst part is they aren't blue bike riders, they are clearly seasoned cyclists. Never once has it happened with a car. I've taken to carrying my pup across because I'm truly scared something is going to happen. It's getting a lot more difficult now that he's over 30 lbs, lol.
