I hope investigators look at the footage from the cameras that I could see in street view. Your comment seems have a lot of emotional content.
Massholes drive cars.

Massholes drive cars. Massholes ride bikes. Massholes walk. Nuff said.
Sad and frightening

My condolences to the victim's family and friends. I've cycled along Massachusetts Avenue through that intersection many times, and I can echo comments others here have made about how busy that stretch is. Tim Mc's speculation seems plausible to me as I had my own close call a few blocks away on that same side. I was gliding slowly southbound down the bike lane careful of traffic zipping by inches away on my left, while also being mindful of car doors possibly flinging open on my right. A vehicle came up quickly from behind and made a sharp right in front of me as I approached Shawmut. I stopped in time. Had I been going any faster, I wouldn't have had time to react, and that could have been me lying in the street. Yes, even on two wheels, rolling down that part of Massachusetts Avenue, like so many other places in Greater Boston, is truly "threading the needle."
Lane Droppings

If you want to kill someone it is better to use a car than a gun. More pedestrians die than motorists in Boston. It should be just over a week until the next pedestrian death. Don't blame the police for non-enforcement. It is the construction of the way that determines the speed of the vehicle. Urban Traffic calming works. Speed and stop vs. slow and steady. The safest drivers on the highways are the ones going between 74 and 84 MPH. It is the lane leaping assholes that slow the highway down and cause accidents. Stay in your lane and keep your speed up.
