bike weak. We want you to brag about your bike.
We want you to give us a call and tell
us how cool your bike was, or even how bad
it was if you got like a second hand bike. Mara,
you were talking off air about a mate who had
a bike.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yep, that was It was from the tip shop pretty
much because his parents wouldn't buy him a brand new bike.
And so we were talking about this yesterday and he
said we had the spoky dokies on the Instagram and
he said it must be nice. My parents wouldn't do that.
I just had a card and a peg and I
said all of my bikes were secondhand. Didn't even have
gears like they were just literally just wheels and.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Roughly held together with russ.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
He said he had to build it from tip parts
when you could take stuff from the tip. I had
a mon huffy across species mongoose huffy with bear trap
pedals that cheese growned my chins when I slipped.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Slipped off them. I remember those pedals. I remember those
pedals too. They were horrible, but especially riding with no
shoes on. Oh why did you do that? Because in
a hurry when I was leaving somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
It sounds like you're leaving your DNA just on the pedals.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
But we want to know.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Like I only had maybe one brand new bike, and
it was when I was twelve. I got a BMX
one three one. I think it was called one three
one because it wasn't a mongoose or a bumblebee or
anything like that, but it was a gun metal gray
and I called it smoke only to myself, because when
I said it out loud, I sounded like a loser.

Speaker 2 (01:32):

ride smoke?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, but not that loud. Okay, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Just in your mind.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Smoke, Let's smoke on out of here. That's what he
used to say to myself. And then yep, right off
by myself or with my dog. But one year, to
give us a call and brag about your bike, Sarah
and Pac Pines, tell us about your bike.

pride and joy, and it was a some kind of
mountain bike, which we we gifted it to him. But
