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.
Roads are really expensive, more so in the mountains. That’s why we tend to share them. Kinda crazy to build a whole separate road over there for bikes, instead of teaching drivers to be more careful of cyclists.
