Bicycle Diaries - David Byrne

Descriere Bicycle Diaries - David Byrne

From a renowned musician and visual artist comes Bicycle Diaries--part travelogue, part journal, part photo album--a behind-the-handlebars celebration of seeing the world from the seat of a bike. \n \nA round-the-world bicycle tour with one of the most original artists of our day. \n \nUrban bicycling has become more popular than ever as recession-strapped, climate-conscious city dwellers reinvent basic transportation. In this wide-ranging memoir, artist/musician and co-founder of Talking Heads David Byrne--who has relied on a bike to get around New York City since the early 1980s--relates his adventures as he pedals through and engages with some of the world's major cities. From Buenos Aires to Berlin, he meets a range of people both famous and ordinary, shares his thoughts on art, fashion, music, globalization, and the ways that many places are becoming more bike-friendly. Bicycle Diaries is an adventure on two wheels conveyed with humor, curiosity, and humanity.\n
