Cycling will change the world and how you experience it.





Great event at Town Hall Seattle - a panel discussion on bike culture and the state of biking in Seattle proper.

David Byrne was on hand to share some thoughts and images on his personal experiences pedaling about the major cities of the world (captured in his new book - The Bicycle Diaries). I love and respect this guy's work and prolific nature and seeing him on stage as "citizen Byrne" was a nice reality check.

Mark Hinshaw of LMN (whose work I admire) had some good things to say, as did the other speakers/experts on the state of WA cycling.

All in all, go by bike whenever you can - it will change your world and the world at large.

Here's a NYTImes video:
