“Dear PoPville,
During the past few months, I’ve noticed more and more Capital Bikeshare bicycles in situations in which they normally would be seen. Someone taking a bike onto the metro, someone locking one up with a bike lock at a normal bike post (not a docking station), someone sitting in a park with a bike in front of the person, while a Bikeshare dock is about 50 feet away.

God damn I needed this. Thanks to Chuck for sending.
*This series will feature any pets in a backpack/bag. On metro, or not. Corgi, or not. Please email your sightings to [email protected]
Spotted this guy in Cleveland Park yesterday
Ed. Note: Don’t forget you can get a free ride today to celebrate the 9 year anniversary. Just don’t forget to park it back in a proper dock when you’re done.

From an email:
“Lyft is integrating Capital Bikeshare into its app, the second city in the nation to get that treatment after New York City, and the latest step as we march toward becoming a multi-modal urban transportation provider in the District and across the country. (more…)
From CM Cheh’s twitter thread last night:
“Today, I introduced legislation to create new rules for electronic scooter/bike operators, users, and @DDOTDC. The first tweets on the bill focused on one particular provision, while the legislation is actually a rather broad bill with many components. (This is a long thread)
Electric scooters and bicycles produce multiple benefits for the District: reducing congestion and our carbon footprint, plus they’re fun for users. However, with these benefits have come significant challenges. (more…)

Ed. Note: Very cool but remember, these will be the self propelled rides.
