80-years old and biking across country. Amazing!
More amazing is that after biking for nearly 14 months, the fellow was hit by a truck and killed just 40 kilometers (25 miles) from home...
What is it they say? Most accidents happen within 25 miles of home? (Of course, people spend most of their lives within 25 miles of their home, too.)
Kamesaburo Harano was hit by a truck from behind while riding along a curved section in a tunnel.
