I’ll throw my non-driving one out here:

When I ride my bike to work (South End, Mass/Cass) from Porter Square. Half the commute is ok, I ride in protected lanes to the river and then to Mass bridge where I only have to worry about pedestrians.

THEN DOWN MASS AVE from the bridge. Holy shit I almost die 3-4 times every commute.

The central square stretch of mass ave is one of my most dreaded bike zones, but that's only because I don't have to do the 5 block radius of mass ave and Newbury street with any regularity. It's an absolute mess over there

That stretch is a death trap. Hope your commute is never made shorter via ambulance, stay safe out there.

This. I ride SW corridor, then mass Ave into Cambridge. SW corridor is safe, then from Mass@Columbus to the bridge I have to pray. There's always either someone parked in the bike lane, or college students Jay walking, or people turning right onto Boylston with their eyes closed.
