Description:

Willie Weir loves the open road and bicycles in almost equal measure. Over the course of many years--and numerous different bikes--Weir has pedaled his way across several continents, 22 countries, and more than 35,000 miles. Then, in 1993, while bicycling through New Zealand, Weir had a series of serendipitous encounters that pointed him in the direction of his next journey: India. The bicycle trip through India in 1994 led to another in South Africa in 1995; in 1996, Weir took off for the Balkans with a heavy heart, having done the unthinkable for a professional wanderer: he fell in love.

Spokesongs is a charming collection of short commentaries Weir wrote while on the road, delivered via National Public Radio back home in Seattle, Washington. The book is divided into three sections comprising his three separate odysseys; from getting lost on the road to Ratnagiri in southern India to getting robbed in Albania, Weir recounts his adventures with humor, insight, and eloquence.
