A Kailua-Kona man died after he crashed while riding his bicycle in North Kona Sunday.

Hawaii island police said a silver Dean Titanium Road bicycle was traveling west on the right shoulder of the roadway when it crashed. The bicyclist, described by police as elderly, was taken to Kona Community Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
