Talking Bikes

DateTuesday, October 20, 2009 at 7:56PM

David Byrne (lead singer of the Talking Heads) is a kick-ass guy.  Just like he sings in a straightforward kinda way, he's written a great book about biking in the US.

What's funny is the bike culture has fallen absolutely in love with him.  Bikesnobnyc puts it right by saying, ""Stop the presses!" It's David Byrne:

--Riding a bike
--Eating a sandwich
--Taking out his trash
--Getting arrested for running a cockfighting ring with Debbie Harry in his Hell's Kitchen apartment"

Anyway, what's great is reading any of his writings after watching "Burning Down the House" on youtube.  You can't internalize him speaking without that crazy punchiness.  Give it a try!

Step 1. Watch Burning down the house video.

Step 2. Read this excerpt from The Bicycle Diaries.
