“Dear PoPville,
Is it time to give up or is there anything we can do to keep bike lanes usable? Not even GWU is respecting them. This morning during rush hour on 20th St between G and H St.”

“Dear PoPville,
The guys from The Daily Rider on H Street (600 H St, NE) recognized my bike from the footage and photos I’d posted when someone brought it in to be fixed (it was either broken by the person/people who stole it, or by the person who bought my stolen bike), checked the serial number on Bike Index where I’d registered it as stolen, and called the police.

I’ve been wondering what is going on with the DC E-Bike program that was passed last year. There was a lot of fanfare and then crickets. I signed-up for updates and have heard nothing at all.”

Thanks to Beth for sending “Bikeshare truck blocking bike lane on Florida Ave in front of Trader Joe’s.”

“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday afternoon I was driving through an alley on the regular school-designated route (in blue) to pick my kid up from school. I was driving about 10 mph. As I was driving, a bike (in purple) turned the corner and very nearly hit the side of my car. Thankfully, the biker wasn’t hurt at all and didn’t fall of his bike. However, he was extremely angry at me, (more…)
