The Book
WHAT IF?
Tagged “The Bike Guy” at a stage race in Quebec by a bunch of teammates that would go on to be the most dominate team in North America in the early 1970’s, Bill Humphreys came from total obscurity to play a key role in the success of the Century Road Club of America’s Raleigh Team.
Bill pioneered the “Domestique” position in the modern renaissance era of US cycling by giving up any of his own ambitions to help his established teammates continue their winning ways.
He would then become Junior National Team road coach with riders like Greg Lemond, Chris Carmichael, Ron Kiefel, Greg Demgen, Thurlow Rogers among other’s who would go on to have great international careers.
After stints with Bicycling Magazine and American Bicycle Group, Bill authored “The Jersey Project”, which was voted ‘Book of the Year’ by Competitive Cyclist. Speaking at book signings has now evolved into public speaking on overcoming roadblocks to success via his competitive days, team reunions, and trips back to Ireland.
