Hectic Bike Commuting into Downtown Boston

This is my work commute into downtown Boston. The traffic was a bit hectic today because the fire department had the main road blocked off and we had to go around on the sidewalk. There was a fast guy I rode with on the way to work. He was confused by the homemade Trader Joe's pannier. The bike I'm riding here is a Co-Motion Klatch flat bar gravel bike with commutery stuff on it like rear rack, panniers and fenders.
