"...an engaging book: part diary, part manifesto."
The Guardian "Entertaining . . . newcomers will enjoy these off-the-cuff sketches from an unpretentious cultural polymath; acolytes will cherish a closer look at Byrne's weird, wonderful brain chemistry."
–Time Out New York "Whether you are a cyclist or not, Byrne's insights into everything from outside art to aboriginal folklore are wry, witty, and more often than not, wise as well."
–The Philadelphia Inquirer "Reading
Bicycle Diaries makes cosmic indifference a lot easier to deal with."
–The Seattle Times "Mr. Byrne's music has every year grown more receptive to other cultures, and his diaries reflect the same ecumenicism."
