Capital CrashShare: The way some people ride Capital BikeShare bikes, you’d think accidents involving the service were frequent. (Besides, the bikes feel damn near indestructible while you’re on them, and by “damn near indestructible,” we mean “very slow.”) But today’s incident on U Street NW where a tractor trailer and a cyclist collided was only the 17th accident since the service debuted. That means a crash every 90,000 rides, which is pretty rare. The cyclist’s injuries were not life-threatening; police haven’t said who was at fault yet. -1

Bob Casey, a Pennsylvania Democrat, started complaining about the Washington Nationals’ plans to restrict advance ticket sales for a series against the Philadelphia Phillies. First, he whined about it on Twitter, and then he apparently followed up with a letter to the team. Today, the team wrote back, telling Casey, politely, to piss off. Guess we shouldn’t count on Casey’s help getting D.C. a vote in Congress any time soon. +2

Ground Control To Discovery: Speaking of space, the now-retired space shuttle Discovery is coming to Dulles International Airport. Officials say the spacecraft will arrive from Kennedy Space Center on April 17 on the back of a Boeing 747, then (after two days of work) head to the District to be celebrated outside the National Air and Space Museum. No word on what kind of fees airlines charge to add a space shuttle to your flight. +2
