Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast. Public

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Transport around Sydney. You know what, I know, we have

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a go at the government about things. It's on fire

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: at the moment. I love it. I love the Metro,

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: I love the new Metro. I love riding the trains.

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I love getting on the four four two into the city.

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: I love I love just jumping on public transport. They do,

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: you know the other never really got into them until recently.

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: But the lime bikes, the electric bikes that you can

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: get anywhere. And what's the other one? The other one's

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: hello hello bikes. I think they're hollow bikes. I'm not

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: sure what color are they. I didn't know the Linme

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: bikes were electric. Yeah, and Kate, they're awesome, like you,

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: you don't even really so when you're actually peddling, you

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: get a bit of the electric and then there you've

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: also get a throttle up on the handle. Yeah, and

17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I've been having so much fun. You can get up

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: to a bit of pace. There's some great bike lanes

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: around the city as well. I went for a swim

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: in Barangaroo the other day in the harbor. So the

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: other day though, I'm I'm trying to get used to

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: the throttle because if you actually put the throttle on

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: and pedal at the same time, you can get up

24
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: to a bit of pace. And the other day I

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: didn't know this, but there's certain areas where it doesn't

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: work because there's a lot of foot traffic, so along

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Darling Harbor and that they don't the electric bit doesn't

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: work on the bike stops. Yeah, so you can only

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: do it by pedaling and going slower because there's a

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: lot of people walking around. And I understand now, but

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: I didn't at the time. So I'm on this Lime

32
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: bike the other day and I'm trying to put the

33
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: throttle down and it's not working, and I'm going harder

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: and harder on the throttle. Kate, I ripped the whole

35
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: handle off the bike. Oh god, I broke the whole

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: handle off. It was hanging off frustration. I mean Darling

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: Harbor riding around with one handle awesome. And Nelly cleaned

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: a family up out the front of Madam two swords.

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: Look at this Lime bike renegade. He only gets around

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: with one handle.

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: When I finished with my ride, you then have to

42
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: take a photo to show where you've partnered the bike

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: and I've gone Yep, no worries. So I've left the

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: bike there, and then I had to walk up to

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: sort of the cargo bar and left the handle out

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: the front of the cargo bar. Okay, So as I

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: went in to have a cutler, Frovies.
