Well this will surely result in a constructive and informative chain of comments.

I'd say something, but this is 186 Mass Ave...I'm sure there's a camera somewhere that will tell us the story.

Heres an update:

"Witnesses said the man had stepped off the sidewalk near the Berklee School of Music to cross the street while cars were stuck in gridlocked traffic when the bicyclist hit him, said Officer Joe Zanoli, a police spokesman."

The man is in stable condition and no charges were filed against the cyclist.
