"The Alewife" is reporting that a bicyclist was struck and injured by  
a motor vehicle on Mass. Ave. this morning in the recently  
reconfigured Porter Square -- apparently at the spot in front of the  
Mason's Hall where city planners successfully insisted on removing  
the raised safety median in order to create a "bike lane."
