Review:

An excellent memoir * Sunday Express * [Boyd] was at the heart of the action... But there's much to interest non-music fans as well * Mail on Sunday * Drake's suicide provides the memoir with its most poignant episode, but there are plenty of colourful anecdotes * Sunday Telegraph * Gloriously entertaining... even those unfamiliar with back catalogues and B-sides will be intrigued by Boyd's ability to dish the dirt * Observer * From Dylan to Pink Floyd, Boyd was there and luckily for us, he can remember it all * Daily Express * The simple brilliance of "White Bicycles" is that its author never overstates his own importance or exaggerates his failings, and still ends up telling an irresistible tale. * New York Times * A brisk, wised-up and highly entertaining consideration of a crucial musical epoch's many facets. * Kirkus * One of the most entertaining and insightful rock 'n' roll books I've read -- Noel Mengel * Courier Mail, Brisbane Australia *
