"My adult life has been dominated by three things: bikes, cameras, and cancer."
As of the writing of this post Erik is in Texas. I just checked his Instagram feed. Â Â You can follow his journey, and you should help his cause.
Erik’s named this excursion Brian’s Ride, in honor of his cousin who died of cancer a year ago. Brian is the latest in a long line of people dear to Erik to meet such a fate.
Armed with a Salsa Marrakesh touring bike, a 4x5 camera, and the eye of the tiger, Erik is bisecting the United States and Documenting his journey along the way. Follow his progress on the Bikepacker.com tour tracker.
Donate to this, the greatest of causes, and Erik will send you a hand developed print from his travels. A piece of art in its own right, as Erik is a trained and established photographer.
