ICYMI. Now with shipping option because not everyone is #blessed enough to call this truncated diamond home. Wear it to the next bike lobby meeting, the one where we secretly make all the decisions about city planning but only give ourselves shitty, disconnected infrastructure

US airlines cancelled 780 flights, or 3% of total scheduled, on Friday, Nov. 7, the first day of the FAA’s shutdown-related flight cuts. Cuts will step up to 10% of flights at 40 key airports over the next week.
