I've been traveling, which means that I get the McNews of the world through USA Today thanks to whatever hotel I'm in. Lo and behold, bike commuting makes the big time, thanks to David Byrne, best known for starting a band, the Talking Heads, when he was a wee lad in his twenties. Now a mature 57, his new book (his 7th) talks about his bicycle commuting in New York City, along with rides in other cities. His five favorite cities are Portland ("bike lanes everywhere, but serious hills"), New Orleans, New York, San Francisco, and Miami.

The book is called Bicycle Diaries and it's a meditation on many things, a few of them bicycle-related. Here's the article.
I'm sure reviews are in other publications as well.

And here's a thought - - why don't we see if ABC can support (no, not money, just publicity) a book tour visit here by Mr. Byrne? Anyone have connections, or want to start a few cold calls?
