Of note, “MTPD will distribute the free U-locks at Vienna starting at 6:45 a.m., and officers will be on hand throughout the morning rush hour distributing bike safety tips and assisting riders with on-the-spot registration.”

They don’t say what brand. Not sure if it’s worth the detour.

I meant to post these images last week but forgot. This thread was a good reminder. I took the metro last week and found the attatched trifold flyer stuck on my bike. I was a bit annoyed, since it seems like a waste of paper, but then I thought “Good for WMATA, they’re at least addressing theft and trying to reach out to people that lock up bikes there.” Seems funny they don’t mention the lock giveaway though.
