White is not the only high-level cyclist to die in Colorado in recent years. In 2020, Clif Pro Team racer Ben Sonntag was killed by a driver while on a training ride outside Durango. That driver was sentenced to serve jail time in late 2021. In 2021, U.S. masters champion Gwen Inglis was killed by a driver outside Lakewood, Colorado.
No one is arguing about your right to cycle down the road. No one is arguing about how it should be a safe activity.
All I am saying is that people driving cars are dangerous. I wish people were safer. The reality is they aren’t.
Why do you throw caution to the wind when you know people are dangerous and irresponsible?
We should have the expectation that people driving vehicles do so safely. We should have the expectation that people driving vehicles will do so responsibly around cyclists. Expectation is not reality unfortunately. No matter what your expectations are there will still be assholes driving vehicles. No matter what your expectations are it’s still a massive risk to cycle along busy roads. That’s a reality any cyclist needs to accept no matter what their expectations are. But you’d rather lash out at me.
You sound angry but you’re angry with the wrong person.
