Bicycle Diaries: David Byrne

Bicycle Diaries is David Byrne doing what he does best — noticing the weird, wonderful details of the world — only this time he’s doing it from the saddle of his folding bike. The Talking Heads frontman has been cycling around cities since the ’80s, and he takes that habit on tour, pedalling through places like London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Manila, New York and more.

From bike‑level, Byrne gets a front‑row seat to the chaos, charm and character of urban life. His reflections are part travel diary, part cultural commentary, part love letter to the simple joy of riding a bike. It’s funny, curious, thoughtful and full of those sharp Byrne‑isms fans adore.

If you’re into cycling, travel, music, or just seeing the world a little differently, Bicycle Diaries is a ride worth taking.
