- Hey guys! I hope you enjoy the views of my bike commute.
I use the Brompton folding bike most of the times, as it's comfortable and I keep it under my desk.
Commuting to work on my Brompton folding bike
#biketowork #brompton #bromptonfoldingbike
Nice video. I live in Zhuhai (China) and work in Macau and I commute to work with my Brompton all the time except on rainny days.
It is 15km ride one way and takes me about 1 hour including crossing the border between China and Macau.
Riding the Brompton is by far the fastest way among all options as it will not be affected by traffic congestion during peak hours
Neat. That is crazy traffic but not surprising with a border crossing.
I'm an adult who has never cycled my entire life. Your videos make me want to learn how to ride a bike. Waiting for my cycle to work scheme certificate to be approved by the HR as the cheapest Brompton bike is around £780. Keep those videos coming! Watching all the way from London🇬🇧
Hey Matt, you're definitely not alone on this one. A lot of people learn how to ride a bike as an adult and get the hang of it pretty fast. You'll be happy to know that a folding bike is often indicated for adults to learn how to balance themselves. You can lower the seat post halfway, and use it as a child's balance bike. If you don't know what a balance bike is, look it up. You'll be riding in no time! Welcome to the channel!
Hey Matt, a couple of suggestions from someone who has a Brompton and commutes using it in London. When you say the cheapest Brompton, I am guessing you're going for the B75. If that's the case, make sure you buy some mudguards for that one - surprisingly, they do not come with mudguards as a standard. Come winter, you will thank me for this suggestion. :) Additionally, if you don't feel as confident about cycling in London/have never ridden a bike before, your local borough most likely has free classes to both teach you how to ride a bike and build confidence - these are geared towards people of all ages so no need to be shy! Lastly, make sure to look up "London Cycling Campaign" and see if you would be interested in joining. LCC do some amazing work lobbying for world-class cycling infrastructure and each borough has a local branch of LCC. I wish you all the best!
@@additional09 yes it is indeed the B75! Ordered from Evans Cycles. And yes, I ordered some mudguards, rack, folding pedals because it is always, always raining in London! And i just checked as you suggested, Brent does offer free cycling lessons. Cheers mate for letting me know!
@@mattbalajadia Awesome! I wish you lots of happy riding in London - it's increasingly safer and calmer city to ride in. Here's the local branch of LCC for Brent. Once COVID situation calms down, you should be able to go on "guided rides" and group events with them: www.brentcyclists.org.uk/
@@additional09 cheers mate! Can't wait for this pandemic to be over. I've been in the frontline since mid-March and it's starting to get the best of me, that's why I decided to get a bike.
Nice channel - love watching people getting around by bike. :-)
I started using a bike around town (Vancouver, Canada) many years ago when my car was stolen, and pretty quickly decided I didn't really need a car in the city. Shortly afterwards I went on my first bike trip (New Zealand) and got hooked on touring for the next decade or so. My last major trip was down the west coast from Vancouver to the Mexican border - highly recommended if only you can find the time to do it.
I still get so much pleasure out of just riding around town doing errands or exploring different parts of the city & surroundings, sometimes putting the bike on a bus or train & starting off at the end of the line. Like you I've discovered that there's virtually nothing in daily life that can't be done, or transported, wth a bike and occasional trailer use.
If I ever came across the person who stole my car, the most logical thing would be to thank him. :-)
You are a real ambassador for biking in general and for biking with a Brompton. I love the relaxed style of your videos and admire the ‚professionalism‘ of your camera work. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with the Brompton and your passion for the Bike living style.
Hi! This is an awesome channel. I live in Guatemala. I used to drive my car to work, but after a lockdown in my city because of the pandemic, I realized of how much money I can save if I don't use my car everyday. So, I'm joining the bike commuting movement ! I'm going to buy a bike! I'm so excited!
In these turbulent times, (as if "the times") are never turbulent, it's calming to watch your new videos by another satisfied Bromy owner. Love your channel. Thanks.
Thank you for being here, it means a lot! I'm excited to be sharing experiences with the Brompton, and it's always nice to have other owners around to share stories.
Hi, from Augusta, GA. I am enjoying your videos on the Brompton. I am not a Brompton owner but do own several bikes. It has been a while since I rode on a bike. You are truly an inspiration. I rode on my folding, no-name bike today. Thank you.
I’m 60 years old and have just started learning to commute by bike in Minneapolis. I’ve been using an ebike, but recently purchased a Brompton. I’m looking forward to replacing even more of my car trips with my bike. Thank you for the work you put into your videos. I find them both practical and inspiring.
Are you able to ride your Brompton evening during the winters?
@matthewcain2880 I haven’t ridden my Brompton in winter here.
Amazing! I purchased my brompton here in UK before first lockdown my main plan was to use it to commute to work and save money each month. But this week I've purchased a lock to cover the bike insurance so starting my 15min /2.3 mile tomorrow. I've watched your videos and love this channel. Keep it up! Would like to see more maintenance videos.
Live in Minneapolis but I am a consultant so where I work changes. Last year, I used an e-bike to on a commute that was 27 miles one way (54 total!), or I would use a Brompton to ride 10 miles to a bus stop and do the rest by bus. The great thing about the Brompton is it gives me lots of flexibility to hop on a bus, train, etc. if I want to change my commute, or I could put it in the trunk of a colleague's car if we go for beers after work. :)
Absolutely, you got it all right! That's the greatest advantage of the Brompton: flexibility.
Great footage! And also the route in the left below corner is great to follow. You did a lot of work here: 360° camera, go pro on the chest, drone follower. You do a great job editing this. I’m here for the Brompton, because I would like to buy one. Thank you for showing me around!
Really love your video's ❤ I ride my Brompton allreddy for 14 years sinds 2006.
It really changed my live 👍 I still use my Brompton everyday and i sold my car 4 years ago . I live in Belgium and its very easy to get around with the bike in combination with train or bus . I really take my Brommy everywhere. Its like a part of my body 😀 My Brompton is a 3 speed with rack. But i made it in a single speed one year ago. Because i love the simplicity of it. One speed gives you allmost no technical problems. And i like the single speed feeling. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
Hi from Midland Ontario Canada, I commute by bike April to November, winter commute just not practical even with my fat bike shown banks just narrow the roads to much. My commute is 9km I ride a Giant TCX, I do own a Brompton however can’t bring it into the secure facility I work at . Nice to see a practical commuter friendly channel.
Hey. I’m from London. Don’t really know too much about bikes but after watching your videos, I’m definitely getting one.
I was also able to hire one out from a local Brompton pod which was amazing! Didn’t really like the feeling of thinking about how many others would’ve used it so I definitely cannot wait to get my own. Haha!
Happy to see somebody in America that is on the metric system of measurement 😂 from Manila Philippines 🇵🇭
Ahaha metric system all the way!
I was thinking the same thing. I’m 57 lived in America my whole life but use the metric system most of the time.
Hi From Sherwood Park Alberta, Canada. I really enjoy your videos and your promoting "bike commuting when you can". I have a self employed HVAC service business so I use a service van all day, but thanks to videos such as yours I have converted my Norco MB to a commuter with Panniers and now, any after work errands, I will now use my bicycle commuter. Thank you and keep up the good video. I am now subscribed. Cheers from Canada👍
I am not sure if you do so yourself, but if it is at all possible, could you do a video on how you clean your Brompton such as the chain? Your video on fixing a flat on a Brompton was top notch! It would be very helpful!
Hi,
lovely channel, nice videos.
I‘m located in Dortmund, Germany and ride my bikes daily. Mostly I use my cargo bike (Omnium minimax) for my daily commute and shopping. My Brompton is used more for long distance multi mode travels, but with the trailer you’ve presented it could even replace my cargo bike in most situations.
For driving our son around to sports and other events we use our Tern GSD. So - no car needed over here. Just some bikes- for one car you can buy plenty of bikes :-)
Best regards,
Christian
You can definitely keep different bikes for different purposes! Much better than a car!
OMG I watched your review of the Brompton and then I got all excited seeing this video that you're in Atlanta 😂 you're biking along my university campus! Georgia Tech!
I live in london I just bought a brompton last sunday love your videos so much
I'm 62 Years old and thinking of buying a Brompton just for leisure , something I can put in the boot of the car, your videos are brilliant and informative.
It is perfect for that purpose. Super comfortable and TINY!
Johnny morris I bought mine at 59 y/o and haven’t regretted it. Used for leisure riding as well. I have a couple of videos on my channel highlighting riding it in So. Calif.
Do it!
Johnny Morris - That's where my Brompton mostly lives- in the boot of my sub compact car. It comes out often for exploration adventures, me being retired now.
@@mnelson311 I'm very healthy mid-thirties and I drive a GTI! It's going to live on my hatch as well!
Your videos convinced me of the ultimate practicality of a Brompton! Watching them is a lot of fun! Thank you for this great channel!
How did I miss this video? It just suggested it to me haha.
Well done as usual and thanks for the tour!
I've cycled like most people during childhood, now as a pensioner I use my Brompton when I have to go to town, because I'm fed up with parking problems. Little shopping, commissions , all are done with the bike. I use it as a shopping trolley, just fantastic. Easy, fast, practical, efficient. From Arona, Tenerife Canary Islands Spain.
I'm in Dallas, Texas and I ride my Brompton M6 to run errands and I will eventually ride it to work once I start working in the office again. I LOVE my Brompton!! I keep adding things to it! I'm riding daily.
I want to go back to the office so bad, just to ride the bike there. I've been doing home office for the past 2 months and will continue until the end of July. Then I'll move farther away, which is not necessarily a bad thing. haha Awesome that your riding it anyways!
@@EverydayCycling I have actually enjoyed working from home. I have been doing it for the last 2 months also. My commute is longer. It will be about 18 miles each way. I may do light rail in to shorten it, then ride home after work. I haven't tried it yet.
Hello! I ride an old and beat up cruiser to work every day! It's about 4 miles total so not too bad. My city is not set up for cycling (you'd laugh at the state of the bike lanes) so it's a rough ride, but I'm a stubborn woman lol. I'm glad the algorithm brought me to your channel!
Great video. I also commute with my Brompton. I live in Montreal, Canada. The commute is 12.9 KMs and it takes me about 40 - 50 minutes depending if I stop for coffee or not. Unfortunately I have been working from home during COVID so I do not get to commute to my office. I still do ride though. Happy rolling and be safe!
I feel the same way about working from home. I miss the commute so much! Yours is pretty long, similar to what I used to do in Brazil in the past few years, and stopping for coffee twice a week is something I also loved to do!
Sweden and Lithuania. Home office 2 years but occasionally goes out in the morning to get a "commute" in but almost always in the evening. Most frequently used bikes are Brompton S2 and Surly CC.
Peoria Illinois and I plan on starting my work commute. Great video
Hey, I absolutely love your channel. I commute daily in London on my Brompton which I've named Secretariat. I routinely do a 22 mile cycle along the canal out of London to get home to my canal boat after work. It such a great end to a day. I definetly need brighter lights on my bike for winter though.
Keep up the good work!
I bought a Brompton specifically because of your videos, just picked it up last week. M3E, black, very happy with it!
Love your videos, and especially love the Brompton! Cheers from UK
Cheers!! Thank you for watching and being here!
Cool video and keep it up😍👍
I am from Singapore and I use it mostly to help me be more healthy and groceries shopping too.
Ride and stay safe 😊
Thanks Neil! I'm happy you're enjoying this way of life too!
Decent ride. Greeting from London. I’m another Brompton lover which I use for every thing. Cheers
Thanks for being here Zak!
Very beautiful place and nice video shooting
Thank you!
That separated path is amazing, go Atlanta! Greetings from Boise, Idaho. I bought my s3e just for my commute. I can take it on bus in the morning and then ride home 10 mi in the eve. I think my favorite use is light shopping within 4 mi of home. It's the cargo bike I never knew I needed!
Hi Jill, I love using it for shopping as well (both light an heavy haha)! Have you seen my other videos on that? I'm glad you're enjoying your Brompton!
Cool to see that at least in some parts of the US, cycling infrastructure is pretty good, or at least getting there! Hopefully it keeps improving :)
Love your videos. I'm considering a Brompton since my car broke down 3 weeks ago. I was biking to work daily on my Pedego e-bike before the pandemic.i work from home now. But going back I want to get a brompton to get to the subway part of the week and bike the 11 miles each way on cooler days. Thanks for all your tips!
It's a good strategy. i can tell you for sure that taking the Brompton in the train is perfectly doable.
Thanks so much! I bought one. The black edition in rocket red. I named her Pepper. It's the H6L. I purchased the easy wheels which are so much nicer than the ones Brompton provides. And I just ordered a rack and mirror. Unfortunately I can't find the T bag anywhere so I'll have to get the newer model bag. Can't wait to get them all
Hi, thanks for sharing some info & scenery! I‘m from Switzerland, I commute to/from work mostly. I own several bikes, mostly road bikes, but have Bromptons, too. My commute (one way) is 13km, about 8 miles... Love it!
Hey, your commute must be pretty awesome! Do you also bike tour in Switzerland?
Everyday Cycling - we do longer rides occasionally, but not touring really 8)
Seattle Zizzo forte 1.8 miles from home and I love it! Great video!
Nice video. I also commute riding my Brompton to office which is around 7km from my place. :-) Cheers!
Awesome! And where is that? Your profile picture looks so nice!
Everyday Cycling I’m based in Singapore. That was taken at the Upper Pierce reservoir. :)
I like the 360/ultra wide camera view. The wiggling of the stick caused wobbling make the image looks like game graphic where the 3d character model glitches and twitches 😂
I just found your channel! I live in Orange County, California and commute 5 miles to work and 6 miles home (traffic patterns) high speed suburban streets, but no on street parking and a bike lane.
Brompton owner from the UK here. I commute about 8 to 14 miles depending on the route I take and I do it most days to my work.
loving the filmography and wishing the UK had a cycling infrastructure like the US in fact anywhere else is better than ours. Which is nuts considering how important cycling is to us. Rant over 😀
I thought that cycling infrastructure in the US was worse? There’s a bike messenger I follow from New York and cyclists are only a second thought, with cars getting all the space
Great stuff. I commute all year round in Trondheim, Norway. 5 km each way. Steel bike with fenders and a front rack with a Wald 139, and of course studded tires in the winter. The best way to get around town!
Nice! It must be beatiful up there. Thanks for sharing!
Hello from Belgium, I like your videos. I commute by bike ( race bike) as much as possible. Only in winter time I use my car " enjoying " traffic jams
Traffic jams are the price we pay for driving, haha. I'm glad you enjoy most of the year by bike though!
I am retired and living in Japan now so I do not commute by bike anymore just for exercise and short shopping trips. It is winter now and I am in the mountains so I ski and snow shoe. When I visit my daughter in Himeji I bike on my son-in-laws folding single speed bike. When I lived in Lansing Michigan I biked to work every day all year round using a Trek 820 and a Miyata one eleven for fun fast rides. When I can enter Malaysia I will have those shipped there to ride. I enjoy your video.
Excellent video, thanks x
Nice of you to show us where you work.
While watching so many of your videos, I had a thought. I'm trying to think forward. I want to purchase a Brompton to teach my 12 year how to ride a bike. I like how you say you can augment this to be a balance bike initially. As she gets older, I'm hoping she'll take it with her to college so she can get around campus. If she doesn't want to take it with her, I get to keep this awesome bike and ride it myself.
I live in Hannover Germany an get my Brompton one week ago. Now I take the bike every day for a part of my way to work 🚲👍
Awesome! Enjoy your new bike!
Hello, you just earned a subscriber. I’m from India 🇮🇳 currently living in sweden 🇸🇪
Cheers from Singapore. I’m owner of Brampton P6R-X. I loved your video so much. I wish I can take a video of yours. I impressed
Hi, I dont know how I get to your channel but I have been now watching all your videos, love it. I have a dahon bike, marine 7, it is my first folding bike and I am so happy with it, Bromton are kind of price for me so will be far away to get one but well. I ride my bike when weather is ok to go to my job, I am in Pennsylvania. 🙂
I am going to start this week. I only live a few miles from where I work so I have no excuse not to. I'm pretty pumped. Greetings from California, USA!
I'm excited for you! I hope you like it. It may feel hard over the first weeks if you're not used to cycling, but it gets so much better over time.
I go to GT and used to commute along the same bike path you took with my racing green brompton last year....
Are you coming back in August if classes return?
@@EverydayCycling The campus will reopen in June 18th. I am coming back once the campus reopens.
Hi dear friend, I like so much your videos, thanks a lot. I live right now in a French Island near the Canada. It is a paradise for people who like bike because there zero bike which was stolen here😄 I work in a school and I am very proud to use an old Canadian bike which my colleague borrows to me during the time of my job here. Using bike is soooo great. When I will come back France in Europe I will use a folding belgium bike Ahooga ultra light and very interesting to. Do you know this bike? Enjoy your day and your ride on your marvelous bike😃☀️
Amazing bike path...ONE person riding on it.
I love your videos its really relaxing and it made my night. adding this to my special playlist. 🇵🇭
Hello! Jenel from Philippines here and I also do bike commuting. Before i used a 20” folding bike but i gave it to my fiance. Now i’m using a cx bike for. For work, it’s around 34-36km round trip. If I do groceries here at the mall near home, around 9km round trip. I loved the bike infrastructure you have there in your city. We are hoping and praying that one day, we’ll have a better infra for cycling/walking here in our country. Thank you for your great content. Brompton is my dream bike. I will surely invest in that bike one day. Stay safe! 😊
Thanks for you comment Jenel, and welcome to this channel! I lived in Brazil my whole life, so I understand what it means to not have bike infrastructure. I also hope things get better there in that sense, even though the government is sooo slow when it comes to bike investments... stay safe, and stick around! There are a few non-Brompton videos planned for the future, but it will all be related to biking in the city!
I just watched one year later this video… you are talking about 60 subscribers!!! You did such an amazing job, in a very short amount of time! Congrats for your videos, cheers from Belgium 🇧🇪👍!
Thank you so much!! It was quite unexpected!
This is a great video which really captures why a commute by bike is almost always better than a commute trapped in a car. I am shocked that a car-centric city like Atlanta has such a wonderful bikeway such as the one that you traveled on in this video, which give me hope for similarly sprawling cities like Phoenix.
Greetings from Lancaster, PA. I currently use four bikes. An Xtracycle Radish long-tailed cargo bike, a Raleigh Superbe Dutch-style bike, a Trek hybrid, and a Nishiki road bike. Have been wanting a Brompton to add to my collection for years. Love your channel, keep it up please!
That's an awesome fleet you have there! I hope you add a Brompton soon! Thanks for being here!
I love this camera angle ! Very nice. Please use it in a weekly compute video. Would love to watch it.
Awesome route and fantastic camera work man, i got an h2r that i (used to) take with me to the bus. Also helps with social distancing nowadays. Keep the videos coming, and take care!
Thank you, Noel! I'll keep them coming!
hello from shanghai , china! great video man!
Hello there! Thank you for watching!
Really well made and edited videos. Congrats, and I hope u keep growing! I have a similar brompton and commute 10km each way, one of my favorite moments of the day for sure. Cheers from Spain!
Thank you Salva!! I'm glad to hear you also enjoy your commute, and it's a little longer! Awesome. Cheers from Atlanta!
Thank you for sharing. May I show this video to my students to learn about things to watch out for when you bike in Atlanta? also, things to consider for a better bicycle experience design?
I also cycle with my Brompton M6R every day 6 km each way, near Barcelona (Spain) including a significant level uprise in a space of just 250 meters! Thats why I've included on my Brompton chainring reduction in order to climb that little hill. And as you said, yes, the original light is not so good at night. I mean, it does the job, but far from I thought. See you!
I also have the reduced chainring and think it's worth it, even for flat cities. But I enjoy riding slowly. The normal chainring really helps on going faster.
Enjoying watch from Sydney Australia .
Thanks, Ajay! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
After watching your videos, my next investment will be a Brompton :) All the best from Luxembourg!
I cycle London with a Brompton, around 22 miles, 11 each way.
That's a long commute! Awesome!
David Alexis how do you and your Brompton get on doing that distance,I’ve always wanted to own a Brompton but have a similar distance to ride,and have never been sure how I would get on with this commute on this bike.
Hi, new subscriber here! Watching your videos makes me want to have a Brompton even more! I currently have a folding bike I use to go around town but never have tried it going to work (my mom doesn’t agree because she’s worried about my safety, knowing the streets here in Manila). Our office is just around 2.5 kms from our house.
Excellent camera work.
HELLO
Thanks for your infomative videos in your chanel. You give me motivation to use my Brompton every days.
Sorry for my bad english
Aurevoir from Paris. France
Hey, thanks for commenting! Nice to hear I'm inspiring you a bit to go out and ride. Merci!
I ride to work on an M6L Brompton. My commute is ~4.5km, and I'm from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I'm currently borrowing the Brompton that I've been using, but am buying myself one in the next week or so!
Don't ever return it. Ride away. South America, maybe! I'll meet you along the way.
haha I'm glad you're enjoying it and looking forward to getting your own.
@@EverydayCycling if only the borders were open ;)
Oh no, that's true. Yeah, you're gonna have to return the bike then...
Hi! I like your videos. I’m from Puerto Rico. Here ride a bike is like a extreme sport 😂 because we don't have a ciclo road and it’s a very hilly country.
Great city bro👍
Hello, nice video! Especially the drone shots. I ride to work most days, about 16km/day, takes about an hour. I'm in Yokohama, Japan. In very bad weather, I take the car. The difference in time it takes is negligible. (car vs. bike)
Very cool. I am living in Muich, Germany. - I am riding a Birdy - black. Driving each day 7 km one way to work, an 7 km back home. - Maybe I am switching to a Brompton :-)
How do you like the Birdy? I've seen it, but never heard feedback comparing both.
@@EverydayCycling hi I bourght it in 2004. Singe than I am ring it wach day. It ist fester than my MTB! But I Think the folding ist better on a Brompton. The gearshifting ist better on the Birdy. It ist a Shimano XT with 9 gerast.
Before I retired in 2005 I used my first Brompton during the summer to commute 8 miles to work, 7 of these were on a bike path along the towpath of the Shropshire Union Canal where I used to be tracked by a heron, and once saw a kingfisher. The Brompton was better than a normal bike due to rear suspension, but worse due to the dreaded rear wheel punctures. However with a Brompton I could transfer to a bus. Sadly since 2005 the surfacing of the cycleway has deteriorated so badly that it is no longer rideable except by mountain bike. Regards Stewart Dorrell from Chester England
Hey Stewart, that sounds like such a great route! And I see you enjoyed the bird encounters you had. Awesome! I also think the Brompton is more comfortable than other bikes because of the rear suspension block. I've had quite a bit of punctures on the rear tire to the point that now I'm totally comfortable with fixing them. Haha Thanks for being here and taking the time to comment! Have a great weekend!
Hi. Here from Northern NJ. Don’t currently ride to work, but plan to soon.
I'm glad to hear that!!
I commute almost everyday 24 km, except when its rainning. I have a 26whel, GT Avalanche here em Brazil. My dream is to have a Bromptom, to make a commute in the rainny days with an Uber, or a bus but you know the forbidden prices here in Brazil. Well, maybe some day. Very nice job with the channel!!!
I was really taken with what a lovely route you've chosen, though I initially racked my brain tyring to establish how you were able to record from the high, rear position whilst cycling,
I then saw the shadow of your stick!
The drone shots were really neat and I thought how good it would be if you could have a drone automatically track your journey and how it would be better than dash type camera footage due to its airborne advantage!
However, when I saw that there was a Concorde engine in the foyer of your work, I simply sat, agog at what I was seeing!
This was simply spectacular, such beautiful engineering just sitting in the foyer!
It's hardly surprising that your subscription and viewing figures are increasing, as you're an interesting, enthusiastic, objective and honest presenter and narrator.
You have excellent videography and editing skills and you genuinely care about the content you create.
Your production quality is top notch, and your care and commitment are really appreciated by your subscribers and viewers.
Edited to say that I'm in London.
Thank you! It's interacting with people like you that keep me motivated to record these videos.
Thanks for being an active member of the channel!
Unfortunately I can't have the drone follow me for the entire ride, that would be awesome... first because my drone is very simple and doesn't have reliable obstacle avoidance, and second because before any flight I need to go in an app, register a rough flight route and get permission. It's such a pain that I end up doing my rides twice. I go once to record all the angles except for the drone footage, and then I ride again with the intention of getting only the drone shots. A bit tedious but the result if fun!
I like inventing different angles and experimenting with my videography, so you'll see some different formats of video in this channel, and your feedback will always be greatly appreciated!
Practical idea sir ,for bike to work,hi iam nick from phillippines manila.
From the UK 🇬🇧 and I travel to work every day in the summertime, winter - not soo much lol. I have a 2020 Matt black 11 speed Alfine Brompton with the lovely tan wall tyres, love my Brompton, hardly ever use the mountain bike anymore. Great channel mate, I look forward to the next video, how’s it going ?
Oh come on! I already own five bikes. Don't make me want to buy another one :D Really cool videos! Greetings from Germany
Haha happened to me as well... after selling most of them, the Brompton remained. Thanks Alexander!
@@EverydayCycling 🙈 bought one today. Its pretty different from my other bikes. But the first ride was really fun. Rear hub seems to be quite loud. Looking forward for some funny rides 😄✌
I love this video, so soothing calm. I tried to bike for commute as mush as I can, unfortunately my city doesn't have a bike's friendly environment at all. Road sucks, full with bumpy and paddle hold and I have to use a small road with the big car. No big tree to give some shade for anyone.
Basically, you can literally died easily in this kind of road
Great video!
If I had the opportunity to commute that route to work it may tempt me from semi-retirement, not, but great ride and excellent camera work sir!
My wife and me each have a 6 speed Brompton and ride them for pleasure only. We are in the East Midlands of the UK, without any decent riding routes. We would have to ride out in the car to find half decent places to cycle for any distance - cyclist awareness by most drivers is appalling here, which puts my wife off from riding ‘normal’ roads... 🤷🏼♂️ 🤔
Thank you for your feedback! That route is sooo pleasing, but I'll move to a place farther away in a month (around 4km). It will be a nice ride nevertheless. I'm sorry to hear that riding your bikes there seems difficult. In what part of the East Midlands are you living in? I looked it up (sorry for the ignorance) and it seems to be such a beautiful region!
Everyday Cycling Thank you! Not ignorance at all, apology not necessary. Currently we are in East Northamptonshire living pretty much rural in a rented farm cottage. It is a lovely location, just not good for pleasure cycling. We will be moving a couple of miles along the road in a few months when our house is finished. Not quite so rural then, on the edge of a tiny village. If it helps, we are kind of between Peterborough city and Oundle town. Keep enjoying that wonderful commute... 👍🏻😉
Like your approach to the video relay of info.and enjoy reading the comments. I'm still in the process of deciding what to buy. One thing for sure, it has to be an E-Bike. Touring and hills ( mountains) are going to spoil the challenge of long distance. If all bike videos become your quality, I won't need to travel.🙂
There's nothing compared to bike touring, you should go even if bike videos become my area of expertise. Haha thanks for the kind comments! Let me know what bikes you're currently looking at and considering.
Seriously, you’ve talked my husband and me into purchasing Bromptons! Can you please give a video on traveling in the rain? How do you keep relatively dry? Also, could you do a video on traveling by Brompton and with a Brompton. (For example, on train/plane). That is how we would like to use the bikes.
I live in Palm Desert, California and live in a unique area where I could get to everything I need in 15 mins, which is rare in most suburbs in California(unfortunately). I have the Tern C7 folding bike. I have two children so I bought separate attachments I connect to the bike so we could all ride on one bike. I also have a two seated burly bee trailer I also use to haul the kiddos and pick up a ton of groceries.
Cool video 🥳
Let me know where you're from! I'm so excited about this, having people from all over the world is amazing! Do you also use the bike to run errands or go to work?
I'm from Dublin , Ireland
Wuppertal, Germany, also a Brompton commuter 🤗
@@christianhang very interesting overhead railway system there ,i saw it there back in the 70's.
Got a Tern foldable bike here in NYC. Will start using it more for my commute
Awesome! You're going to love biking in NYC!
fantastic movie.
Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it!
Nice video! I’m curious about how you shoot the videos here? Next time maybe make a video about how you shoot your own footage! Thanks
Now I commute around 9 km round trip in Paris on my Brompton, but used to have a 32 km round trip through the heart of Paris 3 or 4 days a week, also on the Brompton. That’s was quite long, but the Brompton held up very well.
And congrats for the videos
Thanks for being here!
