[edit] Spokesongs: Bicycle Adventures on Three Continents ( 2000 )
[edit] Editorial review
Inspirational stories of traveling the world by bicycle. From the war-torn Balkans (where he was greeted with extraordinary kindness by Serb and Croat alike) to post-apartheid South Africa (where he was trailed by lions, and housed by Zulus) to the eternal chaos of India (where he is lodged one night at the local jail), Willie Weir finds moments of grace on the thinnest lines on the map. He also finds frequent humor and occasional brutality. But throughout, his bicycle is the vehicle for communion with mankind, and the lessons he imparts are applicable to our everyday homebound lives as well: Be curious, be open, be brave, be good and goodness will find you. Originally written as scripts for public radio, these (now greatly expanded and enriched) tales of traveling the world by bicycle are crystalline beauties, small human encounters rendered with perfect clarity and luminescence. Willie Weir sings the glories of the bicycling life. A book for bicyclists and adventure travelers, Spokesongs is an unforgettable journey into the heart of the world.
