“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday I took a spill on my bike while riding on H street (those streetcar tracks can really get you) and was really scared and in pain. So many kind people immediately rushed to check on me, help me up, and get my bike out of the street. I was so touched by the immediate kindness and generosity of strangers in my time of need.
I figure we all need a reminder of all the good that’s out there, and in our own amazing city, in these weird times. Special shout out to The Daily Rider for fixing my bike right up despite the huge demand on their business right now.”
