I had the wonderful pleasure of reading David Byrne’s “Bicycle Diaries” as we were gearing up to visit Buenos Aires last year. A large portion of the book is dedicated to Buenos Aires and what to look out for when riding the trails. The book read more like a “Lonely Planet Guide”, but the surprise was very welcomed because I had a better feel about the town than I would’ve had by getting the most updated version of “Frommers”. You always get a better feel of a place when you go out biking anyway. Call me ol’ fashioned, but I find myself calling audiobooks as books on tape. I have to get with the times. Good news is that the book can be split up by chapters and you can pick and choose which ones you want to listen to or read. The paperback, audiobook, and e-book are all available Sept. 28th but you can pre-order here. You can also check out the introduction down below.
