Biker Boy on the Metro

Originally uploaded by Daniel Greene

It’s funny to me how casual people are getting with bikes on the light rail. Yesterday morning, I saw an old man ride his bike right onto the train and stand in the aisle straddling it. This morning, I saw this boy ride his bike onto the train and just sit on it the whole ride and simply peddle off the train at his destination!

I should point out that in each case, there were spaces to hang bikes and places to sit. These guys, both young and old, were just doing their own thing. This randomness and variety provide some of the people-watching pleasure that makes riding light rail so interesting.

Metro Morning Reflections

The stations on the Valley Metro Light Rail alignment offer endless opportunities for reflection and photography. This morning, I got this photograph by stabilizing my G1 cameraphone against one of the I beams that suspend the sails, lights, text displays, PA speakers, security cameras, etc. And what I got was the beautiful reflections in the high gloss paint on the I beam!

Just another no-pants day on the train…

I got on the Valley Metro Light Rail, and little did I know it was No Pants Day!

Turns out this is the 8th annual Ride the Metro without Pants Day instigated by The Urban Prankster Network throughout the world, and we just happened to experience it for the first time here in the Valley of the Sun.
