"Travels
with Willie is one of the rare bike books that gets it right."
— Bicycling (June 2009)
"Willie
Weir may be the most effective and inspiring advocate in the USA for
international bicycle travel, but his message is about much more than
bicycling."
— Edward Hasbrouck, author of
The Practical Nomad: How to Travel Around the World
Watch enough cable news and your view of the world will be clouded by
fear. Hop on a bike and that view will brighten drastically.
Travels with Willie is about
finding adventure and facing fear, embarrassing blunders and language
barriers, ice cream and kindness, Cuba and Colombia, Turkey and Thailand, the world's steepest street
and the world's cheapest engagement
ring, catching a thief and losing a zebra, a father's touch and a
farmer's embrace, buying time and spending another night. And, of course,
it's about bicycles.
Fellow
bicycle travelers will smile with recognition, and arm-chair travelers
might find themselves wandering into a bike shop, looking for a passport to
adventure.
