The Folding Bicycle Diaries

The previous post on music and architecture came out of reading David Byrne's "Bicycle Diaries", in which Byrne talks about... Well, read some reviews here and here.

I've spent more time on my bike recently (Giant Halfway, below).

Giant Halfway

Not the best ever bike, but any bike is a bike and doing a few miles now and again is a great way to rediscover the surreal, nomadic thoughts of a younger me as well as hopefully more creative thoughts about my dissertation.

And the advantage of a folding bike is that a good one can be parked anywhere. So if you don't have a shed or a garage, you can still drop your bike down next to the sofa. You wouldn't win any races on a Giant Halfway but some of Dahon's bikes look pretty nippy. And the Halfway was a lot of fun down on Romney Marsh recently.

Folding bike advice.
