I plan to attend w the caveat that I never know what work is going to throw my way. Thanks for organizing, and I’m happy to be put to work to help out in any way!

@JWetz aside (I gathered from my convo w him at coffee club this morning that he’s not on board), if any DC resident Doozy Dozers are interested in protecting our residential DC neighborhoods zoned R-4, please sign this petition to Mayor Bowser for a moratorium on pop-up construction. Here’s the link to quickly and easily sign online: http://tinyurl.com/stopthepopdc

THIS WEEKEND I WILL RIDE 6 MILES FOR EACH DC RESIDENT TEAM MEMBER SIGNATURE AND NAME THE RIDE AFTER YOU ON STRAVA – 10 MILES INSTEAD OF 6 IF YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER SIGNS TOO. My Bloomingdale home is one of many DC homes affected by this situation, hence my plea. I won’t clutter the thread with my lengthy diatribe on this topic, but feel free to chat with me regarding any questions or comments.

StopthePopDC, a community group working to curb the practice of developers converting single-family rowhomes into multifamily apartment buildings (“pop-ups” or “pop-up buildings”), is requesting your support on a petition to Mayor Bowser. The petition asks the Mayor and other city officials to place an immediate moratorium on the approval of building permits for pop-up buildings until city agencies have revised the zoning rules (to address pop-ups) and put them into effect (a proposal is currently pending). For more information, please visit us on Facebook, Twitter (@StopthePopDC) and Instagram (http://www.instagram.com/stopthepopdc).

Hello! I’m Susan (@SusanTSeutter on Twitter, @stseutter on Instagram, you’ll probably be bored following either as my puppy tends to dominate my posts). I’ve been living in DC for over 10 years but only started bike commuting about 4 years ago. I ride a Frankenstein fixie beater bike for commuting (made by an ex, I think my husband would like me to finally get a new one but then I would have to worry about it and take decent care of it). I have a Specialized road bike for longer rides (did RAGBRAI 2011 and CycleNC 2012, clearly overdue for another long ride). My daily commute is only 2 miles from Bloomingdale to Dupont where I hop on the redline to Friendship Hts, but joining this group might inspire me to squeeze more rides into my life. I got a bike trailer for my dog, but have only used it once so far. Subjecting him to DC streets scares me way more than subjecting myself to them. Looking forward to meeting you all. Happy New Year’s Eve!
