Riding the highest peak in the solar system at the age of 86: This 70 meter street hides the most authentic power of cycling

What’s even more amazing is that he repeated the ride 3915 times, bringing the total distance to 658 kilometers, which is equivalent to the distance from Beijing to Zhengzhou.
