David Byrne gets around. While touring in cities across the world, the Talking Heads front man brings a bike. His recent book, Bicycle Diaries, which one reviewer described as "part diary, part manifesto", chronicles these experiences. It captures a key reason bike share systems are thriving in cities across the globe–exploring a city by bike reveals amazing places and people.

Passion for biking and urban exploration is the reason that Nice Ride is so excited to host Cities, Bicycles, and the Future of Getting Around on June 17, beginning at 7pm, at the Uptown Theater. Byrne will join author Jay Walljasper; Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak; and Steve Clark, manager of the Twin Cities' Transit for Livable Communities Walking and Bicycling Program in a panel discussion.[전문 읽기]
