Upon reading “What if?”, what I find most fascinating, Bill‘s book is not just a cycling book. It’s about the man. Experiences, journeys, and events that shaped his life. I’ve been friends with Bill for a long time, but now, through his writings, I have the opportunity to know him on a whole new level. One that’s offered to everyone who reads his story. Pick up a copy of his book and read about an extraordinary man who truly lived an audacious life. What if? Book review by Richard Beattie – Co-founder of Bikes Blues & Bayous cycling event Bill recently made the trip to Mississippi to ride our event and to give a talk on the stories in his new book, What If? I had the opportunity to read the collection of true tales before he arrived, and I’m glad I did. The book piqued my curiosity about his unusual life choices and meeting him in person allowed me to have some great discussions with Bill. Even if you don’t have the chance to meet Bill, you’re going to want to read the book. Whether it’s being a hippie surfer in SoCal, driving an 18-wheel truck, being a professional bike racer or sailing into foreign ports, you’ll find Bill had adventures in his life that the rest of us daydream about. Check it out.
