A few quick links from our travel radar this week...
- Now on display at the Testori UK Gallery in London: several works of art made from chewing gum. Artist Maurizio Sauvini used "American gum," as it's called in Rome, to shape a buffalo, bear, and a man. [Telegraph]
- Unleash your inner Viking at the Up Helly Aa Festival in Scotland's Shetland Islands, held the last weekend in January. [The Circumference]
- Treehugger points out that throwing trash out your car window creates the "finest All You Can Eat Buffet that Bambi has ever seen," which unfortunately is why so many animals are hit by cars. Stop roadkill by cleaning up your act. [Treehugger]
- Seattle Airport announces that it will begin using mobile air conditioning and heating units to keep planes cool while they're on the tarmac - reducing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the planes. [USA Today]
- We're all for safe cycling, so when we came across the Light Lane, which projects a laser bike lane on the ground surrounding the rider, we couldn't help think it brilliant. [Boing Boing]

I'm completely blown away by the chewing gum exhibit! Definitely worth checking out. And I love that he uses that classic pink bubble gum almost exclusively. Such a great contrast between the materials and subjects.
