Ed. Note: They added these to their Dupont location in 2010. Nice touch!
“Dear PoPville,
I’m interested in know how Condo Boards (especially in older buildings) are addressing the new bike storage rules that DC recently passed?
Notably missing, is guidance on whether or not condo associations and residential buildings can charge for a bike storage space. Has anyone been on a condo board that has dealt with this?”
“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone know if the woman in this morning’s bike accident at 15th and Q NW is OK? My daughter and I came upon her as she was lying motionless in the street, her bike to the side, and a taxi pulled over. Two people were with her, a bicycle police officer had just arrived, and a fire truck and ambulance pulled up right as we got there. It was a chilling sight. No helmet (though maybe the good samaritans took it off?), just lying on the street motionless. I hope she’s OK.”

“Wanted: Family biker with a child named David
I found it on the Met Branch, just south of R St at 6pm on Friday, looks like it fell off a bike on the way home. Give me a holler at @sobacase and I’ll reconnect you.”
