Carradice did make an excellent cordura bag for Bromptons, which attached to seat and seatpost, at a very reasonable price.I have one, and can recommend it, though haven't checked on their site whether they still make it. The Brompton coverall is quite useful for nipping in an out of shops etc.
Hello Hannah, the timing of this video is perfect. I've just received my very first Brompton (a 4 speed BE) and have been researching lightweight travel bags to use when transporting it either in the car or use on public transport/in public places where an exposed and possibly wet bike might be an issue. I came across your posts when researching my Brompton options and have binge watched most of Brilliant Bikes content, which is both educational and entertaining. Keep up the great work. Allan
Let’s be honest…the bag that’s probably the best one is the one you showed that’s no longer available 🤷🏽♂️ The cover packs into the bag really easily, it can be saddle or stem mounted without obscuring lights or gps/phone and if you leave the cover at home, the bag is the perfect size and shape for carrying a standard drink bottle. Crazy it’s been superseded…new is not always better!
Thanks for watching! So annoying! I think the light with the lock has been discontinued! We still have the locks without the light, for example this one: brilliantbikes.co.uk/locks/6062-hiplok-fx-wearable-retractable-combination-lock-cyan.html Also available in red and yellow. I’ve asked our supplier about the black one with the light
Thanks for watching! Annoyingly I think the lock with light is being discontinued, I have asked our supplier. But we have them in stock in red, yellow and blue, for example: brilliantbikes.co.uk/locks/6062-hiplok-fx-wearable-retractable-combination-lock-cyan.html
I have the B&W soft bag, as a B&W Hard Box also. I have just heard that B&W intends to make the Box a little larger, so that you don't need to take your "Folding Bike" apart, before using it!! As a Dane and 6"+, our Bromptons are delivered with a long seat post as Standard, for our sins, and they don't fit inside the normal B&W box! Finn. Denmark
@@brilliantbikes Thank You. If so they aren't that much better, and the reason why I originally bought a Black Telescope Seat Post from You, just before Brexit cut off the Continent and made things much more complicated!! But they are indeed "heavy" from the double tube and extra clamp, so I have never actually used it. At Present my much less than 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton (A flame painted, Black Version) is below 9 kilo, of course still with mudguards, as a "Rainy Dane". 😄Finn. Denmark
Hi Hannah, this is a useful accessory and is similar to the bag I have for my Airnimal Joey. For my Bromptons (1992 3 speed and 2009 6 speed) I prefer the cover. Its still protected from the elements but I can still use the wheels. This bag would be great for the 12 speed model though... 👌

Is there any information on the original cover as mentioned in some of the comments? I'd like to see what I'd be missing out on and if there are any aftermarket options on reseller sites. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and for the question. We showed the old cover in this video Brompton Transit Transport Bag th-cam.com/video/Ss_W5W4NHts/w-d-xo.html Basically the cover was in its own little bag

The dilemma has always been: setting the bulk and weight of a bag/cover when cycling against its usefulness at the beginning or end of a tour. This doesn’t seem to pass the test. On numerous Eurostar and other European rail trips, my original (relatively light and compact) Brompton cover has always passed inspection.
Hi - great video as always. How do you recon it compares to the dimpa in terms of space? I have added some wider handlebars, bar ends and larger rollerwheels and it stretches the capabilities of the dimpa literally. I ripped two zippers. This one looks more spacious. Is that right?
I love your videos! I see the Brompton Transit Transport Bag on your website, but Brilliant Bikes doesn't deliver to the USA. I checked the US and UK Brompton sites and they don't show the bag on either site. Do you have a web address where it can be purchased? Keep up the great work. Thank you.
No that’s bag is still being continued, we just did not include it in this video as it’s much larger, not really what you would use to pop the bike in the back of the car, just our thoughts, thanks for watching!

In Germany, when travelling with Deutsche Bahn (German railway) you only have to fold your Brompton and you can take it with you for free. At Lake Constance, when you take the ferry Meersburg-Konstanz you have to hide your folded Brompton in a cover to make it “luggage”. Otherwise you have to pay for a bicycle. I love this planet…
Thanks all for watching! We really appreciate it. Sorry we would only lock out Brompton’s if we were sat with them, like in the video, apart from that we would always take them with us 😀
Many thanks for watching! There are some nice tote bags, for example brilliantbikes.co.uk/brompton-bags/3562-brompton-borough-tote-bag-small-olive.html
I finally got my first Brompton in April, absolutely love it. Your videos helped me decide to finally get one after a few years deliberation.
Thank you so much for watching! So glad they helped!
What line did you get? I can't decide
@@Loostyc I got the 12 speed P-Line. Sorry for delay getting back to you.
@@neilmclaren6448 I got 4 speed and couldn't be happier. 😃

I still use the old cover and pouch. In the pouch I also keep a spare inner tube, gloves and tyre levers. Thanks as always
Thanks for watching, again 😀. I know ow we love the old one!
Me too. In the pouch is although space for a 0,5 l water bottle.
Excellent. Am impressed with the lock/rear light as well 😉
Thanks for watching!
Yes the block is awesome!
Recently brought a Brompton and have really enjoyed all your videos. I would have brought my bike from you except I am in the US.
Thank you so much for watching! Would love to see you if you visit the UK!

Thank you so much for finding us and for watching, we really appreciate it! So glad they helped! Hope you enjoy your new bike! Here for any questions!
I have a dimpa with holes cut in for the wheels, which isn’t perfect but it did me for the eurostar 😊
Sounds great idea!
Thanks for watching!

We also love the old bag, the new one I guess is similar, but larger.
Thanks for watching!
I watched for the outtakes.😂😂 However, the lock did hold my attention for a lot longer than the covers!! Great vid. 😊

Wow! How did you do that!!!
Thanks for watching.
Always great videos. Congratulations
Thank you for making me smile and for watching!

Do you know anyone in the UK who could buy for you?
@@brilliantbikes Unfortunately no, but thank you for your reply.
Would the extended seatpost fit in as well?
Thanks for watching! Yea I double checked today!
So it will definitely hold a C-line? I've seen too many falsies on Amazon
Yes it will!
Thanks for watching!
Will G Line fit?
Thanks for watching! Sorry no!
You did mention the bag with wheels, which you can wear on your back when not in use. Has this been discontinued?

What was the lock? It looks really useful
I second this I would like one Great idea
Looks like the Hiplok FX in black (the only colour that comes with the integrated light) - about £30 on their website.

Hi Hannah... once you show Hiplok FLX... nobody is interested in the bag anymore ahhahahahahahhaa
lol! It’s a great idea! We have using them for ages and thought they should make an appearance 😀
Thanks for watching!
Be good if you made a video about locking brompton in street with different locks
Don't lock your brompton on the streets !! Problem solved
@@bromptinowner763yes but what if want to pop into tesco.for 5 mins folding and walking round shops takes.all the fun out of cycling
@markbild2366 install a mini Q Rack so you can take it into tesco when folded, if my brompton can't go in then I'm not going in, not these days
Thanks all for watching! We really appreciate it.

Hi Hannah
Btw I am rowan

I love… … … your videos. 🥹

Hi Hannah, Brompton have more bags than a Tesco Supermarket . They all like Mickey mouse products just like your T shirt 😅 .

Many thanks for watching!
There are some nice tote bags, for example

@@brilliantbikes Thank you, but I was looking for something like the dimpa bag only made out of cordura or denim.
