Hope you get to go. I'm on the east coast so...but I'll probably look into the book. I love cycling. Started riding anew at 46. Been at it ever since. Highly recommend it to all, young and on up. Best way to see the real world, make great friends. Best way to get in shape and stay in shape. Thanks for posting Lexica.

              video and film for more than 30 years. He was mastermind and lead 
              singer and guitar player for the Talking Heads, the innovative rock 
              band, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. 
              What might not be as well known is Byrne's longtime passion for 
              biking and advocacy for bicycles in cities. He's written a new book, 
              Bicycle Diaries, an account of his urban bicycle odyssey through 
              the streets of Istanbul, Buenos Aires, London, Berlin, Paris, Belgrade, 
              Sydney, Manila, New York and San Francisco. Byrne has gotten around 
              New York on a bike since the early 1980s, and often brings a folding 
              bike on tour. Bicycle Diaries features beautiful photography, personal 
              anecdotes from Byrne's wide travels and a strong argument for the 
              way a bicycle can change our view of the world and the city in which 
              we live. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7728B64A-DF52-45ED-87E6-3CC693BA7824/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
