At this sold out Ignite Seattle 41, we hear stories about bicycles and the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment; why you might want a goat as a pet; the time Willie Weir lived in a billboard; one family’s experience of worldschooling, and much more.
I first encountered Willie Weir in the pages of Adventure Cyclist magazine, where he wrote a regular column with humor and heart about his travel adventures. He was the keynote speaker at the 2019 Bike Walk Connecticut annual dinner in November. He's also an actor who put everything into his performance and had us rolling in the aisles.
