Cycling is inherently dangerous, even given the likely fault of the motorist in this instance. They oftentimes will veer into the road path and cause adjustments to be made by motorists usually into the opposite traffice lane. Of course, the liberals in Colorado are already using this tragedy to advocate for dedicated bike infrastructure. They never stop.

Its sad, both bikers and motorists cuause traffic problems and accidents because of it. If cars veer into other lanes motorists have died, if they hit a cyclist, they are injured or can die. Around me bicyclsts do not understand there are laws and road rules for them as well.

Just chompin' at the bit to take a backhanded swipe at an innocent cyclist, huh? You do realize Gwen Inglis was the U.S. National Road Race Champion in 2019. She had familiarity how to ride near motorists, other riders, and pedestrians.

In fact, it’s hard to think of a hobby more dangerous. Where I live they just take up traffic lanes. Sure, most drivers manage to get around them, but counting on EVERY driver to do so, for thousands of miles, starts pushing one’s luck. And these deaths could be avoided, as there are options for getting exercise short of sticking one selves onto highways filled with cars and trucks.

They steal billions from our vehicle taxes to pay for those bike lanes all over Colorado. Registering a new car in Colorado averages $1,300 for a year.
