Ironically, I was carrying a rear-view mirror in my pannier bag, on its way to being returned as it didn't work with my bike. I've been resisting the glasses-mount type as I wanted something I couldn't accidentally leave behind, but that might end up being the only option.

This happened on Charles Street. I think my new strategy there will be to remain in the middle lane as I'm taking a left at the end of the street anyway. But generally I avoid this route because of the general confusion that is the Longfellow Bridge.
