That’s against the law in MA, passenger would be at fault.
Motorist Responsibilities (see MGL Chapter 89, Section 2 and Chapter 90, Section 14)
Motorists and their passengers must check for passing bicyclists before opening their door. Motorists and their passengers can be ticketed and fined up to $100 for opening car or truck doors into the path of any other traffic, including bicycles and pedestrians.
Where this video was taken, cyclists do have to adhere to posted speed limits. However, we don’t actually know what the speed limit was here (the 20 mph sign did not apply because it wasn’t flashing). Edit: found it based on another commenter naming the street. 25 mph.

The video is sped up, right?
Looking at the jogger about halfway through, and the moving cars at the end, looks like it’s 1.5x or 2x speed.
I estimate probably 3x speed. 0.25 playback feels a little slow and 0.5 playback is clearly too fast.

Mods: Just ban this neckbeard troll already.
Seriously. Over half this thread is people feeding this troll.
This video had obviously been sped up.

Also, oops a Uber passenger just ended their ride early and got out to walk, opens door on the biker because they are flying too fast.

Dunno about where you are but where I live cyclists do not have to adhere to “posted speed limits”.
