Did they report this to the police??.. and have the police caught this motorist??

From what I can gather, it was a woman driving. She hit them head-on whilst overtaking (obviously on the right hand side of the road). The bottom line is that SPEED and IMPATIENCE and INTOLERANCE were more than likely involved. She has to live with herself for the rest of her life, and no punishment will bring Gerhard back. She'd better pray that the other cyclist, who is critical, pulls through.

Terrible news, so sorry...

It's enough to make you want to cry and spit fire all at the same time.

To all cyclist out there. It,s always tragic to hear about an death like this. We at Cycle 4 Christ will have a moment of silence before our saturday ride for Gerhard, Estelle and their families as well as other cyclist on the road. We ask that were ever you ride please do so as well.

Blessings

My condolences to Estelle, their family and friends.  I did not know him, but are truly saddened by this.

 

May you find refuge at God's feet, and may you allow Him to put His arms around you and carry you through this testing time.

May God lift your spirits and give strength to walk another day.

My condolences to Estelle and family.

When will something be done? For this is know getting out of hand.

Why must we cyclists and cyclists's families be the ones that get to suffer?
