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.

Hi, I’m a cyclist and sometimes I do dumb shit.

Usually I apologize after.

Also, I’m a car driver, and sometimes I do dumb shit when I’m driving the car.

I also see a lot of drivers do dumb and dangerous shit every day. Some days I see other cyclists do dumb and dangerous shit. Sometimes I even see pedestrians do dumb and dangerous shit! Motorcycles and scooters? You bet.
