Today's commute was happily boring compared to yesterday .

Yesterday I had a flat tire within about a mile of the Metro Station . . . okay, took me about 15 minutes to replace the tube and get back underway. so that means I missed the 6:05AM train (my usual) and had to go with the 6:20 train. No worries right? Wrong.

The Metro Train stopped at the Avalon Blvd. station (people got off, others got on . . . ) and then didn't move for almost 20 minutes. They did come on the intercom, telling us that they had a mechanical problem and that they were tryng a work-around (huh?), and that they'd called Metro for "Trouble-Shooting."

At least the ventalation was working, so we didn't swelter while we waited. Then, eventually . . . the train started moving and all was back to normal.

Never had a stop that long (or any mechanical) on the Metro Train before. They're electric trains, so they should be pretty simple (I would think, maybe I'm wrong).

My commuter bike (DaHon Curve) sat folded up by my feet the whole time and didn't seem to mind the delay !
