A Frugal Cyclist's Guide to the Universe

Tuesday, March 30 6-8pm, Busboys and Poets @ 5th and K St. NW

Call him cheap, frugal, a tightwad or an initiator of kindness, Willie Weir knows how to get the most bang for his bucks when it comes to traveling the world--whether it's giving the world's cheapest engagement ring, protesting an insanely over-priced fish dinner, knocking on doors for free lodging or eating his way to free ice cream. But it's not all about frugality. Willie will bring to life tales from his latest book "Travels with Willie" that will have you chuckling and leave you wanting to chuck your day job and hit the road. Bicycling magazine says, "Travels with Willie is one of the rare bike books that gets it right."

Weir is a columnist for Adventure Cyclist magazine and a cycling commentator for public radio station KUOW in Seattle. His bicycle travels have taken him around the globe--including such "off the tourist path" destinations as India, South Africa, Laos and Colombia.

Considering the Bicycling magazine is basically a forum for advertising high-end racing gear and worthless crap that no one needs (like carbon fiber water bottle cages, $180 helmets, and titanium bolts), I find it ironic that they reviewed his book and claim that he "got it right".
