Thanks to Zoey for sending:

“I found this dockless bike near the corner of 7th and P in Shaw early Sunday morning. Though I didn’t think it was garbage, someone else was clearly unhappy with it.”

Ed. Note: I’m beginning to think maybe we simply just drink too much to have a dockless option.

I’m starting to get tons of messages like this one from Trent:

“Locked to the fence with their own bike lock and the wheel lock is all taped up with blue tape. No clue. On S street between 15th and 16th NW.”

Thanks to a couple readers for sending. Valerie writes:

“In case anyone wonders why we have so many bike shares in DC, it’s because VCs keep throwing money at them. From today’s Pro Rata newsletter:

• LimeBike, a San Francisco-based bike-rental startup, has raised $50 million in Series B funding. Coatue Management led the round, and was joined by Andreessen Horowitz, DCM, GGV, Section 32, Yuri Milner and Kevin Durant.”

Thanks to all (approximately 44 folks sent photos, here are but a few) for sending from Church Street between 14th and 15th on Sunday.
