Colette Bordelon is a reporter with Denver7.
Just after the sun set on Oct. 14, a driver and cyclist collided along Highway 103 near Evergreen. The 66-year-old driver of the Subaru Outback was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured. The 50-year-old cyclist was wearing a helmet and died at the scene. That cyclist was Kevin Carter — a father, brother, son and husband, who was an acclaimed triathlete, competitive hang glider and professional mountain biker. Melanie Carter met Kevin in Florida, when he was teaching hang gliding lessons.
“There are definitely parts that don't seem real still, and I still feel like he's on like a trip and he's going to come back. But, every day that goes by, kind of, the reality sinks in more.”Melanie is also an avid cyclist, and is familiar with the common criticisms drivers have when it comes to sharing the road. “Some people comment, 'why don't cyclists stay on bike paths?' Or we should just stay on dirt trails.
