Bike lanes are the best way to move a stoop through the city. For the past month, Margo Elsayd, an artist based in Washington, D.C., has been rolling her mobile stoop into different neighborhoods and waiting for people to ask her what she’s doing. It never takes long.

Two weeks back, for example, Elsayd set up her Mobile Community Stoop Project at Q Street and New Jersey Avenue NW, in D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood.
