I look forward to his handlebar view of cities such as Istanbul, San Francisco and Sydney. I find both bicycling and walking drive me creatively towards optimism and usefulness. I expect to hear a similar sentiment from Byrne.http://sister-rye.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-im-reading.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SisterRye)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32782193.post-2078775186181821885Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:45:00 +00002010-03-02T20:41:50.006-08:00ArtCyclingExhibitFundraiserMissionSan FranciscoScreeningShowStreetsblogMy art is going to be hung concurrent to a series of films being shown.
