Found about this project here: www.2wheels4girls.com.

A woman is traveling China by bike to bring basic education to girls. From the About section:

Americans are very fortunate to have access to affordable and often free education. If it had not been for Eleanor’s public school education, state funded education, supportive parents, and motivational mentors – she may not be where she is today. Of course, it also helps that she was born and raised in a country when gender roles were broken down before she was born. Her intentions are not to change other countries traditions or gender roles, but maybe just give them an insight of what a young girl’s full potential could be. We are more than just a homemaker, wife/girlfriend, child bearer.

Also, traveling by bicycle through a country where owning and driving a car is a sign of wealth and prosperity – hopefully people will see how wonderful traveling by bike can be.
