Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: 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.

Review Quotes: "...an engaging book: part diary, part manifesto."--The Guardian

"Entertaining . . . newcomers will enjoy these off-the-cuff sketches from an unpretentious cultural polymath; acolytes will cherish a closer look at Byrne's weird, wonderful brain chemistry."--Time Out New York

"Whether you are a cyclist or not, Byrne's insights into everything from outside art to aboriginal folklore are wry, witty, and more often than not, wise as well."--The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Reading Bicycle Diaries makes cosmic indifference a lot easier to deal with."--The Seattle Times

"Mr. Byrne's music has every year grown more receptive to other cultures, and his diaries reflect the same ecumenicism."--The New York Times
