Colombians should use the bicycle daily.

Given the traffic chaos of Bogota, many people are promoting the use of the bicycle. The artist David Byrne will be in Colombia on July 23 to promote the activity.

David Byrne is a former leader of the rock group Talking Heads, he is a complete artist in addition to some music, installations, films, books and blogs. He recently added to his resume a new activity: Defender of the bicycle. It was something spontaneous, which emerged when he decided to blog about the experience of riding on his own in New York, the city, and others. Then he wrote a book called the Bicycle Diaries that now experts from many parts of the world have as a reference.

Now he travels all around the world with planners and traffic experts discussing why cities should be friendly with this means of transport. This will happen in Bogota on Saturday July 23 at the Convention Center Gabriel García Márquez with the forum that is called "Cities, bicycles and the future of mobility", with Enrique Penalosa. This event is not only essential for Bogota but also will serve to launch the Spanish version of his book .
