and it looks like he's using a proper bike for the task, unlike the last hike / ski / publicity expedition.

Eric will pedal a Surly Moonlander bicycle that uses nearly five-inch wide low-pressure tires to provide float and traction over the snow and ice. He is also working with Minnesota-based company Ergodyne to develop and test cold weather gear.

And here's a cool thing on Outside outside.  Haven't met him, but I'm guessing if he's doing something like this he's a pretty awesome guy.  Great project.  Good for him.  I wish him the best of luck.
