Yes, it was horrible.
Derek, Brian (H.) and I decided to stroll in Downtown Mountain View by light rail and the car was PACKED. 9 bikes with about 30 people in a single car made me feel like I was a sardine packed in a can. This reminds me of Tokyo's subway, coincidentally.
Sorry, the train rocked and I nearly fell around halfway into the video.
Downtown Mountain View was nice, but no high rises unfortunately. Bicycle and pedestrian-friendly area with a ton of restaurants. Here are the three of us.
We then biked from downtown to Stanford via El Camino Real and looked for their shopping mall. It was a disappointment, really. I hoped it would have better shops and places to eat. Whatever, I don't like Stanford in general anyways. Don't get me wrong, it's a great school, but I don't like it.

Stanford Stadium (correct?)
At Stanford Shopping MallWe returned home. Then, after we transferred to the Alum Rock train, a cute young lady was staring at us the whole time. Brian said it "made [him] feel good." We laughed it off and biked home together while Derek got off at 1 station after us at Hostetter.
And of course, I would have to say this was one of my most fun adventures this summer so far. (:
