truck or automobile,

in a bicycle auto accident is considered a pedestrian
in Massachusetts, so all the same legal rules and responsibility apply.

Operators of bicycles as well as any other vehicle, are required to exercise
caution while driving on public access roads to prevent injuries to others. A
person on a bike who is riding too fast or carelessly can severely injure a
person who happens to be walking down the street or crossing.
