“Dear PoPville,
I don’t know where else to put this but I wanted to say thank you to the kind person who helped me move my bike and check on me after I crashed on Friday night. It was between 22nd and 23rd on N St. NW a little after 7. I was very flustered and feel like I either forgot to thank you properly or not enough. It was very, very kind and I appreciated the help – I was a bit worse for ware in the moment.”

“Dear PoPville,
I had my priority continuum onyx stolen last night on the 700 block of Park Road NW (Park View). It was in our backyard (behind our 9 ft tall fence!) hidden behind our cars. Someone had to see into our backyard well enough to 1) jump the fence, 2) get it back over the 9 ft tall fence, and 3) navigate the small pond we have back there (which looks like they got pretty wet).

“Dear PoPville,
My partner and I just moved into a tiny Petworth rowhouse from an apartment building and have two road bikes that we’ll likely need to store outside due to space constraints in the house/basement. We have a small back patio and a postage stamp front yard, but I’m mostly worried about weather exposure damaging our bikes.
Does the #bikedc crowd have any recommendations for storing bikes safely outside?”
“Dear PoPville,
