That bicycle should have a flashing light affixed to the back of the rack - bad form...
well neither is using your cell phone while driving
Put the phone away and drive.
What about using your cell phone while passengering?
People quick to complain about this sort of thing never seem to consider that passengers can take pictures too.
Unscientific but I'd put money on it
Based on what I see walking around and waiting at bus stops, there are a hell of a lot more cars with drivers with phones in their hands than there are cars with more than one person inside.
This looks like it was taken from the passenger-side window
Maybe
Too zoomed-in and cropped looking for me to tell.
Being a passenger and using one's cellphone is one thing.
Cell-phone use while driving is quite another....and extremely dangerous and irresponsible, to boot.
Big Nope
Also a big WTF?? Plenty of guidance on how to get around on the various paths and lanes, too! Google maps has a bike function!
I'm sure there must be some reason, though ... like there always seems to be a rich well of excuses for misplaced motor vehicles.
Hey, wait, were there the mandated 657 MUCTD compliant signs on his route that explicitly said no bikes?
Not sure about this MUCTD you speak of
(Manual of Uniform Canadian Traffic Devices perhaps). However, here in the US, we have this document that we call the MUTCD. Not to mention MassDOT standards, which require the posting of pedestrian and bicycle restiction signs that are more descriptive than the MUTCD counterparts. With the exception of I-95 (ok, 128 for those of you who are still stuck in 1972) and I-495, there's at least two at the beginning of every entrance ramp (one on each side) onto Interstate 93 southbound between the New Hampshire line and the Zakim Bridge.
Whatever
Whatever.
Just so long as you go look up the Health impact Assessment mandate for all MASSDOT projects, we're good.
1972
Hey, I was alive in 1972 (though not out of diapers, admittedly) and it is, was, and always will be 128.
I've barely conceded that a certain Red Line station is Downtown Crossing rather than Washington, too.
Highly illegal. That Ducati
Highly illegal. That Ducati and Schwinn rider should be ticketed for street racing.
Definitely someone that
Definitely someone that thinks they're entitled. So stupid and dangerous! I ride a bike and wouldn't be this dumb
Take the lane dude!

might be fun at 5:30 am on a Sunday
though I'm too chicken to ever try it.
Well
It would probably be safer at 5:30pm on a Monday.
i have to say
I was kind of expecting this to be Lucas Brunelle.
What amazes me is that the
What amazes me is that the bike lanes along 93 are pretty good now.
Take the bridge to Charlestown. Take Warren Street north, and then follow along to Sullivan Square's weird rotary.
Then take the side route to Assembly Square.
From there you have a dedicated separated path along the Mystic almost all the way to Medford Square.
