Kamesaburo Harano was hit by a truck from behind while riding along a curved section in a tunnel.
i read about it the other day.it's sad story.what a remarkable old fellow.he didn't deserve dying that way.
i have a neighbor.he is 85 and he still cycles every day.it's good to see old ppl who still do things that a little bit younger ppl do
