“Dear PoPville,
Last fall, I was at The Wydown on H Street NE, and my bike lock broke. I propped up the lock, but when another rider locked up their bike next to me, the ruse was exposed and the pieces fell apart on the street. The rider came into Wydown, apologized (he didn’t need to!), and mentioned that he could run home and grab a spare bike lock for me. He VERY kindly did so.
I am embarrassed to say that I forgot the name of this gentleman and the information he gave me to get the lock back to him. I’ve had it for a few months now, and maybe he’s forgotten, but he’s a regular at The Wydown. If it jogs the memory, I have a small blue Soma.”
