(Kate Hinds, Transportation Nation) Walking out my door this morning, I saw that a scene from the NBC show "30 Rock" was filming on my block. There were all the usual sights that accompany a filming -- lights on cherry pickers, electric cables running down the sidewalk, huge trailers parked on the street, and an enticing food service cart. But I got to see something I've never seen before: a bike, waiting for its 15 minutes of fame. Even filming someone riding a bike is a production!
