Eric the Birdman has taken off on a month-long, self supported bicycle ride from Lijiang, China to Lhasa, Tibet.
Eric is known as the Birdman for his Blue Bird Talk (sounds more familar in Hokkien). He's doing the ride on his Blackbird Bike (Thorn Raven). This bike's got no multiple chainrings or cogset... all 14 gears are inside the Rohloff hub, and that's no bird talk.
Lijiang is in Yunnan, situated on a plateau at an elevation of 2600m... this is the starting point of their journey, which will take them ~2000km to Lhasa.
