Blaine's latest...

... was in the Sunday, Aug 31 paper, squeezing in some front-page real estate despite a flood of stories about Sarah Palin and Hurricane Gustav. Which is no easy feat.

This cool story - valuable to US cities and transportation agencies - is about an increase in bicycling for commuters "from Berlin to Bogota" (and including Japan). By doing so, they thwart high gas prices, get some exercise and - not kidding - save time on bike lanes that bypass traffic jams.

Blaine also made two videos for this story. This neat video is about a bicycle garage where robot arms grab each commuter's bike and store it underground. It's pretty cool technology, and some nice editing, too.

The second video is from Blaine's trip to Taiwan and a visit to the Giant bicycle company. Take a look.
