Bicycle Diaries

Bicycle Diaries/David Byrne 297 pg.

David Byrne has been a bike rider for years and he usually takes a bike with him (or rents on) when he travels. This book is a sort of travelogue about some of the interesting places he has bicycled through and some not so interesting places. This book is full of his observations and opinions about the biking, the culture, and the history of the cities he features in the book. The author is really a Renaissance man with so many interests that much of what he has to say is appealing. It isn't so much that he is PROFOUND, just really likable and insightful. - Christa
