My bike is one of my most prized possessions. She's pretty junky, but I love her. Biking can totally change your relationship to the city you live in. It opens up your senses and allows you to experience so much more than you can in a car. It allows you to really understand distance and space and the actual structure of the city. David Byrne spoke at the Uptown Theater last month about his book "Bicycle Diaries" which is all about his adventures travelling the world on his bike. I am now 50th in line to check it out from the Hennepin Couty Library system. Why do you have to be SO literate, Minneapolis?
