American Willie Weir is well known in bike touring circles for the books and articles he writes about his travels by bicycle.
The BikingBis blog recently caught up with Willie at a bike fair in Seattle and asked him two questions: What’s your favorite place for bicycle touring, and where would you ride your bike if you only had a week?
Willie’s answers are surprising and full of enthusiasm for bike touring. See what Willie had to say in the video below. For more information on Willie, check out the full article on Biking Bis and Willie Weir’s website.
A big thanks to everyone who turned up at a London pub on Tuesday for a beer and a chat.
We were amazed at how many people came out for the evening. It was so inspiring to hear about trips just finished and new ones about to start. Our only regret was that we didn’t have time to talk with everyone.
Instead, we’re extending an offer of beer and Dutch apple cake to anyone who lives in Holland or happens to be coming through and wants to meet up. Just get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
For those of you who couldn’t attend, Alastair Humphreys (who organised the evening) has just sent around a few websites of people who were there. We’ve added websites of people we met and listed everyone below. Maybe you’ll find some inspiration in these sites.
If your big trip isn’t on this list, or even if it is, feel free to talk about your adventures and add a link in the comments field.

In this week’s 10 questions, Cycling In Toronto, Allan recommends places to ride your bike in and around Toronto, talks about taking your bike on public transport and even gives a tip about where you might find a stealth camping place!
The catalyst came from a recent restless night in our tent. We packed lightly for a weekend trip but then didn’t have enough clothes to shove under our heads to make a good enough pillow.
There are few products in this world more versatile than duct tape.
