Oh hey I don’t know if anyone cares but Uniqlo sold a boy’s size shirt with the City Cycles logo on it last season. You might still be able to come up on it. I bought one for my kid, but if you’re a girl or small dude maybe you could fit in a big one. Maybe they sold an adult size?

Oh hey I know this is old news, but while we’re on the Uniqlo subject here’s a commercial for Japanese tech thermal underwear Uniqlo made with some NY messengers of a few different generations-

Yo contemporary bike messengering is such a different world-I mean the app based side of it. You work for Uber Bike messengers. Wild. You can’t really bitch about the dispatcher being a retard if the dispatcher is an app. I guess you can still complain about the rates and customers, it seems a little lonely though. I mean not bad if that’s your thing. Like the lone wolf type. But it helps to have team mates for morale. Its a hard world to go it alone.
