    Hello Brian, Thank you so much for the content you provide. Your channel is one of the reasons that I own a Brompton. You do a such an exceptional job illustrating how capable these bikes are and emphasizing the element that separates Brompton from all the rest - the freedom they provide. Thank you so much!

      Punctures are a game of luck more than anything. Unless you sacrifice some speed and roll Marathon plus tyres which are basically bullet proof. They are gonna happen. But I've been 6 to 8 month periods without a puncture on my Schwalbe durano race guard tires. Then Ive had 3 or 4 punctures in a month. Thats how it goes.

    Hi Brian,
    I must say that I love your videos! Always good to see you taking us with you on your rides and teaching us a thing or three! I’m a 71 year old guy and I am getting back to biking slowly. I bought a Zizzo Liberté recently and am loving it. I can’t really afford the Brompton right now but I do want to get one in the future. They have made a lot of improvements over the years and I love the fact that it is so small and easy to take with you anywhere. So keep up the good work and hopefully you make more videos in the future.

    Good to get the Brompton view from Denver.
    I'm in London, UK. A Brompton S3L is my wheels around this city and beyond. Sometimes, I ride in Paris - 2h 15m away by train (186 mph). Also an absolutely fantastic city to explore on a bike.
    I was wondering what had taken you off the Brompton prior to this. Sometimes, I just don't ride for a week or so, though normally I ride every day.
    On September 1st, I began having the early symptoms of COVID-19. Got through it more or less OK, having been double-vaccinated but, on September 7th, I HAD to mail some important papers so had to get out on the bike, not knowing if I'd even be able to ride at all. Very weird - riding like a zombie through the city streets in the rush hour but did get there and back without incident.
    Since then, I'm back out on the bike. Feels so good - life-affirming. Like with you on your Brommie.
    Ride safe!

    New subscriber! Want to ask how riding on the pavement where you are is viewed? I'm a londoner who moved to the Netherlands so I'm kind of spoilt here ( though it doesn't look half bad where you are either)and don't have to ha, but in london it's a bit more common.
    Though it's pretty crazy that you can go so far on the path at the end pass so few cyclists.
    Not a Brompton nut but appreciate them for what they are as I've been in the bike industry for 15 years and even done a factory tour so I get it.
    Prefer my Moulton if we are going small wheels. But that's just one of many. Always takes someone a bit odd to appreciate small wheel bikes I think.
    Keep up the great job, liking the content anyway. Have you thought about a fleet tour video?

    You have probably been asked this before but, if you had to get rid of all your folding bikes except one, ok maybe two, which ones would you keep? I have 13 bikes, all different. I love them all. But I don't have a folding bike yet... I have a Smart car and can't find a rack for it. I think a good folding bike would be perfect for that car. I really like your videos and trust your opinion. I do like the compact size of the Brompton. I could probably get two of them in the "boot" as they say in England, of my Smart car. But I also like the Zizzo Liberte. You could get 4 of those for the price of one Brompton... I think I could get one Zizzo in the Smart car, maybe... What do you think? Is the Brompton really 4 times better than the Zizzo, or any other folding bike? I am kinda spoiled, I do like quality over quantity. Thanks for the great info on your channel. Hope to hear from you soon.
