People with visual impairments also participated and were sitting behind the supporter.
The visually handicapped participant, Atsuka Akasaka (79), said, “I enjoyed being able to feel the wind directly.
Mr. Hideo Yoshida, Counselor of the Department of Transportation, Tochigi Police Headquarters, said, “Because tandem bicycles do not turn more easily than normal bicycles and require a longer stopping distance, care must be taken when riding. I want you to wear it. "
