2400 block of Champlain Street NW, last night. Throw out a suitcase? Sure. Throw out a back-scratcher? Do that as soon as someone gifts you one! But throw them out at the same time? In a public park? I just bet the answer to this mystery is much less compelling than the mystery itself.

The mysterious practice of "air-locking" continues. Nikolas Schiller documents a case of a bike locked in a tree. It's a fixie, so I guess air-locking is getting hipper. Or, as Mike Licht supposed, perhaps this person just put hydrogen in their tires by mistake and only managed to attach the bike to the tree before it floated away.
