And the other cyclist (seen at the very beginning of the clip, then passing Brunelle later on) is riding (slowly) on a (substandard) MUP - there are (substandard) MUPs on both sides of that last stretch of Alewife Brook Parkway.

I would have used the MUP if that area is as bad as you say it is.

Not on a shoulder. If I had a bike line and was riding at speed, it would have been hard to stop in time. Watching the video, he didn't have much time to react.
That said, mashing down a shoulder like that in the rain is an accident waiting to happen.
