The Bankstown to Sydenham heavy rail train line was replaced by buses as it is being converted to Metro, the fab new rail system that is taking Sydney by storm.  Problem is at the moment that all the people that relied on trains  now have to get on free pink buses to get to the Sydenham Metro and Heavy rail station.  The challenge was ride my ebike and see how long it took.

Result: The Buses take about 25 – 30 minutes and the bike going the comfortable and picturesque route takes 29 minutes.  I think riding more normal roads, a cyclist could do it faster.  Just do it !
