How did the bike get there ? Did he haul it up the cliff on a rope ? Ride down from the top ? What will he do at the trees just ahead of him ? 

So many questions.

this answers some of them.  Google 'riding the white line"

You drop it down into the granny gear and spin your way up.  You may have to shift your weight over the rear tire.

Nope.  I do want to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, but it's a leisurely 4-day walk with cabins for the nights - and no bicycling!

I saw a documentary on that.  This is the mountain you want to climb if you're trying to avoid heights and other fatalities.  Of course as a white American tourist with enough money to fly to Africa and rent guides and lodging for a week -- I'd be a good target to pluck.

They also are set up to have porters carry you down from Mt. Kilimanjaro if you get serious altitude sickness.  I also would like to hike the Inca Trail for 5 days from Cuzco to Machu Piccu (train ride back down) where the altitude is a max. 14,500 ft. vs 20,000 ft at Kili.  I've been at 12,600 ft max, but only for several hours around that height and walking uphill was a chore.  There's no quick-down system in Peru if you're sick.  So if my body continues to heal and get in better shape, I want to do Kili first and then, if I'm fine doing that, the Inca Trail.  As I'll be 68 in October, the window is closing on doing them: you don't need a physical to do Kili if you're under 70 and I don't know if I'd be able to do either one 10 years from now.
