In the past month I have see a driver turn down to drive on the BIKE path, 3 accidents, 2 people rear ended, and too many red light runners to count. Maybe some MA or Boston bikers could chime in here as well.
It's always worse where you live.
I love cycling around Boston. Not as fun as ripping around NYC or the DF (edit: mexico city) but pretty close!
