Bill Weir discovered traveling while still in school and has never tried very hard to settle down. A bicycle ride across the United States with Bikecentennial in 1976 inspired the idea of the ultimate ride-a cycle tour around the world. He got started writing guidebooks on that trip in 1979 by sending suggestions to the author of the South Pacific Handbook while island hopping there. That led to paid assignments with the publisher to update parts of the Indonesia Handbook. When Bill returned to Arizona after 4.5 years of travel, he started thinking of places about which to write a guidebook. He realized that the best one lay under his feet, and wrote the Arizona Handbook, which came out in 1986. Utah then beckoned from the north and Bill completed the Utah Handbook a few years later. His bicycle "Bessie" collected dust for a while, but they returned to Asia in 1995 to finish the round-the-world ride via the Middle East and Europe. He lives in Flagstaff, AZ.
