Some 20 people rode with this lid, and it proved the sleeper of the test. The Flow has all the hallmarks of a helmet twice its price or more: a microadjust dial-fit system with multiple settings to customize to the rear of the skull, cushy padding, an adjustable visor that even accommodates goggles, and trim, lie-flat webbing straps for comfort. And not only did testers rave about the comfortable fit and airy feel, but everyone commented on just how good it looks. I don’t know of a better helmet out there at this price. We were also impressed with the LEM Gavia Road helmet ($110), which is only slightly more expensive but, thanks to a removable visor, does double duty on pavement and dirt.

When The New York Post, for a long time the most camp of the city’s daily papers, placed an ad for Supreme on its front page, the brand’s acolytes rushed to pay $20 for a paper that usually goes for $1.50. This kind of excess is wrapped up in the fact that the people who want to own Supreme far outnumber the people who can actually buy it. Every time the brand has a “drop,” hundreds of people swarm its stores just to wait in line to spend hundreds on a pair of boxer shorts. In a Supreme devotee, we see how one can be “serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious,” as Sontag puts it, to the point where even the founder James Jebbia is dumbfounded. In a phone interview with GQ, when asked if he ever thought Supreme would become as globally recognized as it is today, he compared the unlikely outcome to the election of Donald J. Trump.

The Federal KKK-A-1822F (KKK) standard, originally written for the purchase of federal ambulances, was the industry’s only standard and has seen many revisions.1 Although there are general references to ambulance construction, safety wasn’t the basis for this document. The KKK standard has since been replaced by two new standards: the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) Ground Vehicle Standard (GVS) v1.0 and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 1917.2,3

"When I was a kid I was riding my bike home from a friends house at sunset. I rode past the community pool which had been closed for a couple months. There was a car in the lot with a guy in it. I didn’t think much of it as I continued the trek home. I cut through the local elementary parking lot which has gates. I get like 20 yards past the gate and I see that car pull up at the bottom. Thinking that’s odd. Anyhow he backs out away from the gate. My spidey senses were kinda tingling at this point. I get up to the school and head towards teacher parking lot which is my standard direction. As I’m about to turn the corner I see headlights from the parking lot."

“There will be a big market for that and not just for the autonomous vehicle. Even partly automated vehicles like the ones we are starting to see today like GM’s Super Cruise Control and Tesla’s Autopilot use these,” Abuelsamid said.
