I asked him if I could take his photo. Afterwards we had a conversation about biking, skateboarding, local organizing on sustainable transportation, the city's expansion of bike lanes, and then "where can you go and meet up with other people who want to bicycle." As regards to that question, while they aren't quite ready yet, I suggested BicycleSPACE, the new bike shop at 5th and I Street NW, which I think is gonna work to do stuff like that.

(In active transportation planning, generally you also deal with skateboarding and inline skating in terms of the space required in the context of trail and bikeway planning and other users.)
