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.
So then why are so many cyclists dying every year from getting hit by cars? If it’s perfectly safe, then no one should be dying.
Stop trying to convince me that cycling on the road isn’t dangerous. We all know we aren’t talking about cycling taken by itself in a vacuum. We all know the reason cycling is dangerous is due to the unpredictable and dangerous vehicles that are driving by.
The only way you’ll make the argument that cycling on roads is safe is if there are no cars around, and that cars are banned.
I am all for banning cars. But guess what, currently they aren’t. Therefore if you want to cycle on a road, you have to deal with the fact that cars will be driving by, and that’s the entire basis behind why cycling on roads IS A BAD IDEA.
The problem with you cyclists is that you just cannot connect the dots. Quite frankly, you just don’t give a fuck how dangerous it is, and you’ll do anything to convince yourself and others that it isn’t a dumb idea so you can keep doing what you’re doing without having to change your behavior.
This thread continues to demonstrate how poor your judgement is.
You don’t cycle, you are just pissed at cyclists when they slow you down for a minute every once in a while and probably have violent fantasies of running them over for causing this outrageous inconvenience in your oh so important and busy schedule. Fuck off.
Everything you listed there is an assumption and you’re just projecting. You can fuck off first.
Just get your lazy ass a minute earlier into your shitty truck and you’re good. No need to dream of running people over.
You sound unstable
