“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to report an incident of harassment at N and 8th St. NW (8:45pm Wed. night.) My husband and I were on scooters on our way home up 8th when three kids moved into the street and we had to come to a stop to avoid colliding with them. They threatened to take our scooters, and when we refused, one of them started kicking mine over and over. (more…)

“Saw 4 or 5 pairs of these parked around Dupont this afternoon. Each has a QR code and says they can be unlocked in the Razor App” (more…)

“Have any other scoot riders in DC noticed that ALL the new Uber/Jump scooters won’t go faster than 9mph?
My cynical mind thinks Uber does this to charge people more since you get charged by the minute.”

“So Uber originally had the advantage on Lyft in terms of scooter pricing because Uber didn’t charge $1 to unlock like Lyft and all other scooter companies, until Uber raised their prices. Now Lyft is raising theirs, but will they keep charging $1 to unlock?” (more…)
Thanks to Jeffrey Burka for sending: “In addition to scooter parking spots, we now have these dismount markings at some curb cuts on 13th at and below Mass.”

Just when you thought you’d heard it all…thanks to a reader for sending from 14th and R Street, NW, “loud & super annoying.”
Anyone else notice these around town?
Thanks to chai for sending: “It’s on the MBT by the noma station–same place that had chalk outlines previously. Now someone’s gotten some spray paint and a scooter stencil involved”
