It Could Be Me

05/08/2026

Usually, I post a picture with a cake to celebrate another year of life. But this year feels different. 🎓

This year, I’m celebrating in my cap and gown — not only another year of life, but also my degree from University of Colorado Boulder. 💛

Today, I will also have the opportunity to testify in support of SB26-072, legislation that would increase penalties for those who kill or seriously injure vulnerable road users on Colorado roads.

Eight years after my crash, I’m so grateful to still be here and incredibly thankful for everyone continuing to fight for safer roads for everyone. ❤️

Today—Tuesday, April 21—this is happening in Colorado and across the country.

Riders everywhere are hitting the streets in solidarity with the League of American Bicyclists, WABA, and communities nationwide to defend critical investments in safe, accessible streets.

These protections are on the line—and action can’t wait.

⚠️ Ride today.
⚠️ Be seen.
⚠️ Stand with riders across America.

From Colorado to coast-to-coast, every ride is a statement: safer streets are essential.

Don’t sit this one out.

Get out. Ride local. Stand national.

The financial burden of pedestrian deaths still adds up to tens of billions of dollars even as fatalities fall — and the organization behind the new finding hopes the staggering price of road violence will motivate people to finally take action.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who testified this afternoon in support of Bill 26072. Our voices made a difference.

This important legislation will increase penalties for drivers who kill or seriously injure vulnerable road users, helping to bring greater accountability and justice to our communities. I’m also incredibly grateful to everyone who showed their support—whether in person or online. Because of you, the bill passed unanimously and has now moved on to the next step in the legislative process.

Bill 26072 strengthens our legal system by expanding criminally negligent homicide as a Class 5 felony to include vehicular homicide, giving district attorneys an additional and more appropriate charging option. It also removes outdated language that limited cases involving handheld device use while driving to a Class 1 misdemeanor when a life is taken, allowing for more serious charges where they are warranted.

Thank you again to everyone who stood up, spoke out, and supported this effort. Our advocacy is making our roads safer for all.

Heads up, Colorado! Using your phone while driving is a no-go unless you’re using a hands-free accessory. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
