See a woman on a bike get hit by an SUV on Mass. Ave. by the Christian Science Center on June 16?

I work right there and I live across the river. This stretch of Mass Ave in front of the Christian Science center is by far the most terrifying part of my daily bicycle commute. Drivers lay on their horn behind me when I try to turn left into the plaza, just because they're in a car and I'm on a bike and they think I don't belong in front of them.

It seems that there's something about being in a car – if you can use that increasingly quaint term to describe the massive steel behemoths that crowd our public ways – that makes one more much more likely to behave like a sociopath. Unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me at all that an SUV driver would treat another human being this way.

I was out that day and didn't see this accident. I wish that I could help. Being a victim of a hit-and-run is my worst nightmare.
