This past weekend David Byrne biked to Town Hall for his “How New Yorkers Ride Bikes” event. The night began with the audience viewing his helmet-cam footage of his journey there, and eventually he biked right up on the stage. Streetfilms was there and reported:
Of course our MC for the night, Mr. Byrne, who has been using a bike for transportation for 30 years, pedaled to the theater. In fact, the night started with helmet cam footage he shot as he biked thru Times Square to the venue. Some Byrne-musings which drew the most applause/ laughter as he navigated the entanglement of peds, cars, and street furniture included: “...once you get used to it, riding thru the city gives you a nice jolt of energy“, “42nd Street would make a nice pedestrian mall“, and probably the biggest laugh-getter, “if this was a bike lane, there would probably be a truck from New Jersey parked in it.”
Watch the video of Byrne's ride to the venue here. Read his recap of the night here, and some of his tips for riding in the city here.

Hey David Byrne, thanks for riding your bike instead of riding in a hired car for important people.
You always did make alot of sense to me.
Would you consider buying me a bike? Mine was stolen tonight from in front of the Whole Foods Market in Union Square. You could consider it a grant to a hungry artist or a gesture of solidarity to the insane.
By the way, if anyone is looking for a place to lock your bike while you shop for groceries to last a couple days do not lock it to the subway entrance right in front of the exit door to whole fools. It looks solid, but it's a rigged bike trap. If you lock your bike to it, it will get stolen. The person doing it removes the bolts and then lifts bike off and rides away with it.

Biking is fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better than driving.
LOL, [1].
Sad that I have to buy Quicktime to watch the video. More important the most important biking rule, Lutz' Law. Formulated well before 1986, when I first heard it, it states:
When a cyclists mounts a bicycle
they both become invisible.
Got it?
