It's dangerous out there. Be careful and keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down.

BOSTON -- A bicyclist was killed in Boston Wednesday after being run over by a dump truck, police said.
The bicyclist, a 22-year-old man from Halifax, was riding between two lanes of traffic on Huntington Avenue when he was clipped by a taxicab near Northeastern University at about 2:30 p.m., police said. After being clipped by the cab, the bicyclist was run over by a McCauley & Sons Co. dump truck, police said.
"It looked like the cab clipped the bike's back wheel and the bike got knocked under the truck's back wheels. After that, the truck kept going, the cab pulled over and I saw the bike rider just face down," said witness J.D. Ferry.
Police said the dump truck driver and the cab driver are cooperating with the investigation. So far, no charges have been filed.
The victim's name was not released pending notification of his family. He was a 2006 graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art.

You guys that ride in Boston are really corageous. I dont think Bostonians are good drivers...Been to Boston few times and last time my wife got hit by two guys in a pick up truck. They were obviously tipsy, thanks God I had yelled to get out of the way she just got a bumped. The amazing thing was that the police came and let the guys go after taking down their names. I think they were fiends or something... I asked for a sobriety test before they left and the policeman nastily replied : are u going to tellme how to do my job spick... Then I knew I had to excuse myself and we both left, Boston has been scratched out of our maps at home...
