Very sad :( Also, what’s going on with the other deaths in Colorado? A matter of more cycling in the area therefore more accidents?

It’s indeed a tragic situation. The deaths in Colorado might be related to the fact that the area is a popular training location for cyclists, particularly because of the high elevation, which can be beneficial for training the body to perform under lower oxygen conditions. This could lead to a higher number of cyclists on the roads, and subsequently, a greater risk of accidents.
Yeah, that’s what I figured.
Lots of cyclists and bad to nonexistent cycling infrastructure in many areas.

Tragic and far too common. About 1,000 cyclists killed annually in the U.S. Cars are a plague.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fuckcars@lemmy.world
RIP Magnus. I hope soon our country is less hostile to cyclists
