Urban cycling dream panel to feature David Byrne, others

It's as if all our middle school dreams have come true: As was announced last week, David Byrne, he of Talking Heads, solo work, Sessions at West 54th and, most recently, bicycle advocacy, will be in town to talk about bikes. On Feb. 4, Byrne will sit on a panel entitled "Cities, Bicycles and the Future of Getting Around” with Alex Doty of the Bicycle Coalition, sustainability director Katherine Gajewski and the excellently named urban theorist Ignacio Bunster-Ossa. All will be moderated by PennFuture's Christine Knapp at the Academy of Natural Sciences.
