“Dear PoPville,
Emailing you from the ER! I just hit a divot on the 15th ST bike lane heading south. It’s very hard to see, and i flew over the handlebars, tearing up my arm.
The resident of the house out in front of the area immediately rushed out and was very helpful. But he also said (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Readers concerned about bike theft may be interested in my DIY 70-pound concrete anchor with rebar loops. I’m moving so giving it away. (more…)
Thanks to M3 for sending this awesomeness from Bethesda:
“This is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen….”
Thanks to Antonio for sharing with us:
“Just spotted Veo’s new cargo e-bike. This could be a game changer for carrying items and getting around the city without a car.”
Could this replace some car trips for you?

Thanks to Charlie for sending: “Looks like the docking stations are new too. Maybe they now charge the e-bikes? This is at 5 and mass nw” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Here’s the situation. I live in the Anthology — a Greystar managed building on H Street. On Wednesday we received an email from management with a “reminder” that bike storage is a paid amenity that costs $50 a month.
The problem is that bike storage has never been a paid amenity here. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I am a daily bike commuter in DC and am frequently cycling around e-bikes and e-scooters that are littered across bike lanes and congesting bike rack areas. This past week, this (pictures) concerned me on Constitution Ave NW. There are so many e-bikes and scooters that it would impair a wheelchair from accessing this sidewalk, an ADA violation. (more…)
