A renowned musician and visual artist presents an idiosyncratic, behind-the-handlebars view of the world’s cities.
Since the early 1980s, David Byrne has been riding a bike as his principal means of transportation in New York City. Two decades ago, he discovered folding bikes and started taking them on tour. Byrne’s choice was made out of convenience rather than political motivation, but the more cities he saw from his bicycle, the more he became hooked on this mode of transport and the sense of liberation it provided. Convinced that urban biking opens one’s eyes to the inner workings and rhythms of a city’s geography and population, Byrne began keeping a journal of his observations and insights. An account of what he sees and whom he meets as he pedals through metropoles from Berlin to Buenos Aires, Istanbul to San Francisco, Manila to New York, “Bicycle Diaries” also records Byrne’s thoughts on world music, urban planning, fashion, architecture, cultural dislocation and much more, all conveyed with a highly personal mixture of humor, curiosity and humility.
