1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: This is the Fits and With with Kate Richie podcast. 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: Interesting one on the way to the work. On a 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: way to work, Ryan James, straight through the Cross City Tunnel. 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I've entered the tunnel and then I'm looking. 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: I can see a flashing light and I'm thinking, oh, right, 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: something in the breakdown bay. Always conscious in the Cross 7 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: City Tunnel about your speed, mate, They do have cameras 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: in there. 9 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 2: You done for five year? You got done five times. 10 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: I told you that. Often they'll dropped the speed to 11 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: forty when there is something in the breakdown bay. As 12 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: they got closer, I realized nothing had broken down. It's 13 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: a guy on an e bike taking a shortcut through 14 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: the tunnel. He wasn't a delivery driver, was he. No, 15 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: he wasn't, mate, He was just a rogue. And he 16 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: had a motorbike helmet on, and then he had all 17 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: sort of more of one of those BMX racing helmets, 18 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: so it wasn't a full covered motorbike helmet. And then 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: he's got the headphones on, so he's probably listening to Nova. 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: I would assume he's probably listening to the fifty wee 21 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: Plicat Richie podcast. Huge fan of the show. But the 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: interesting thing was he's keeping up with the traffic, so 23 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: he's doing seventy eighty clicks. He's flying, and I'm thinking, 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: if this guy comes off his bike, he's going to 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: kill himself, like he's really moving. And then as the 26 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: tunnel starts to go up here, because I thought, maybe 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: that's just a normal bike, Maybe he's just rolling down 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: the hill and he's picked up enough speed to go 29 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: with the traffic. And then as it started to go 30 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: up here, I could see that the bike continued and 31 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: kicked into gear and it was your e bike, and 32 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't a line bike, so he wasn't paying fifteen 33 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: cents one hundred meters or whatever you have to pay. 34 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: So he was on some sort of e bike. And 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: I've never seen anybody go this speed. I mean, there 36 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: was talk ages ago that you know, they should be 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: restricted to sort of twenty k's an hour or something 38 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: like that. This guy was about to take off. Well, 39 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: if this bike puts his one arm out, he's going 40 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: to lift into the air at the top of. 41 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: The tunnel, then he's got one. He's on a rambler 42 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: that only gets up to thirty ks an hour. It's 43 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: still pretty. 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: Quick though, so I thought that was lening in the tunnel. 45 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: But he just off he goes and like we're trying 46 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: to get him. It's got to be on the footpath. 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: He's on the road, so on the side in the 48 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: bike lane sometimes, but off he goes to Freddy Training 49 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: gives us the thumbs up like what a man wish. 50 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: I wish we had these as gus. So you're not concerned, 51 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: you're jealous, Mum. Whi's dad's so angry about the e bike. 52 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: It's nothing, mate, He just would have loved one as 53 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: a kid too. 54 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: I've jumped on at a couple of times and going 55 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: down to the baker. 56 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: You know what, my next door noble Will just got 57 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: one and Will's probably sixteen and he bought it out. 58 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: It was his birthday present. Well, fresh wheels. How good 59 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: is this? Can I for go? Yes? Nah, there you go. 60 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: I thought going to go on the e bike because 61 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: you know it's amazing is when you see them go uphill, 62 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: Like that's the most fascinating part to see a small 63 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: framed bike, it's not a motorbike roaring uphill and you go. 64 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: That's cool. 65 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: I look great on one of those. I mean from 66 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: the tunnel this morning. We don't need to go back 67 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: and look too far.

So she pulled over like what an 71 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: idiot pulled over there in the tunnel and emotionally had 72 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: this breakdown in. 73 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: Australia, I'm on a lecture bike. 74 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: I've put a locking where I want to go.
