In today's NYT:
A Bicyclist’s World

Viking has announced the acquisition of “Bicycle Diaries,” by David Byrne, above. Since the late 1980s Mr. Byrne has been using a bike to get around New York City and has taken a folding bike along on his overseas trips. The book will offer his impressions and thoughts as “he pedaled around many of the world’s principal cities,” said Paul Slovak, Viking’s publisher.
