Please try to avoid passing on the right!  I know it's legal in
Massachusetts, but as you can see it's not terribly safe.  (Maybe
that's a ploy by the State to get more cyclists killed and off the
roads!)  Pass on the left, where people expect other traffic.  Or at
least go at a walking pace if you really feel the need to pass on the
right, and leave plenty of room for emergency maneuvers.

"One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we
seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal.  We must
pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means." - Martin Luther King Jr.
