I was at a T-shaped junction (Inman and Mass Ave.), sitting at a red light, a couple of cars back. The light changed, I went forward, ready for the quick left-then-right. As I angled for the right, a bicyclist came by my window, on the traffic side, angling from the one-way (the other way) street, crossing a major street as traffic turned. Surprising that someone would be that stupid, but alas, there is much bike stupidity about. The car ahead of me stopped for pedestrians in the crosswalk, so I did too, easily despite the wet streets, because I hadn't gotten up much speed. I heard a *thump*, had a "what the...?" reaction, and realized it must've been the bicyclist hitting my now-stationary car. The bicyclist, of course, didn't stop.

I checked, and the car does have new bruises on it, on the rear bumper and an area that may be the side, or the edge of the bumper.
