Tumbleweed Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 On another note: What happened to 'Critical Mass'. Maybe more of us should join those rides as well? Nothing much happened up here, but TitusTi was still bashing along with the one in CT.
Cycleshark Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Very sad news. Condolences to the family and friends....
RudoJ Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Tragic news, each time a fellow cyclist dies, it feels like we loose a family member.
ricochet_rabbit Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 RIP Carla, Below is an extract of what happened. Barry Austin, Cycling South Africa’s team manager who saw the accident happen, said Swart turned around right in front of the oncoming truck moments after she had lost her cycling computer. “I could see how the driver slammed on his brakes. He even swerved to the right so as to avoid smashing into Swart, but it was to no avail. The truck hit Swart full on, flinging her into the air,” Austin said.

splat Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 The story is leading the Beeld this morning - I choked a bit when I read her dad's comments - and my brother's piece on her is on Page 3 of today's The Star. RIP Carla. I got several waves of shivers and goose bumps when they mentioned it on the news last night and showed her in action @ the Commonwealth games.
