To the OP. I'm originally from MA, and rode for years there. Bicycles are considered vehicles and have rights to the road (except for limited access highways) and are subject to the same responsibilities as the driver of a motor vehicle. So yeah, you were in the wrong. It's just a warning, good to carry with you in case you run out of TP.
