    Fantastic comparison between the two bikes, they're pros, cons, and best uses. In terms or riding quality, both are great but I would give the edge to Dahon because of the adjustable handlebar positioning & stem height. It is a very comfortable bike to ride. You get used to the 2 hand shifting on a 6 speed Brompton evantually, but the 7 speed Dahon I own feels much more natural. The 20 inch wheels do require less effort to mobilse to the Brompton 16 inch wheels, but I would say the difference is minimal. For mixed use with transit and flying, the Brompton is an amazing tool. It isn't even a bike it's an extention of yourself I've found. Shopping cart mode is a gamechanger and brings immense justification to the price and your quality of life even. The Dahon feels more like a "normal bike". I prefer how you sit on it, especially for a long distance or hilly ride. In a flat, congested city, just invest the money in the Brompton. Very glad they mentioned the gear range was actually greater on a 6 speed Brompton to an 8 speed Mariner too!

      Interesting about the temporary insoles. I didn't know that they were around. The rechargeable version is designed to fit snugly in most shoes, but it can vary depending on the shoe type. You are able to cut the top part off to make it fit better. As for space, they’re pretty compact, and you do need to lift the bottom part out to recharge them. I find it easier to grab them by the middle part to lift them out. But overall you shouldn’t have any major issues! Thanks for sharing.

      We found the trails after a deep dive into the internet rabbit hole. We always start with Google Bike Maps when planning. We were in Ellicott City, MD years ago and knew how interesting that town could be to combine it with the nearby abandoned ghost town trail as a biking tour. As for the viewership, we think it could be safety concerns why fewer women cyclists are out there. Our viewership of women has increased from the start of this channel, so we like that. If this channel has encouraged more women to become riders then we have succeeded in our quest! Thanks for being a super fan.

      Huh? Not sure how you got that impression. Unless you are talking about my observation of an equal amount of male and female riders in the Netherlands. It is a different scenario in the USA. Men are three times more likely to bike in the U.S. than women. The U.S. ranks second-to-last for cycling mode share among women-identified riders. Competitive cycling: 87% of U.S. competitive cyclists are male. Bike commuting: About 72% of bike commuters in the U.S. are men. So you can see why I made that observation when I was visiting the amazing country of the Dutch.

    When you ride sideways on an inclined driveway you can fall. I have had numerous examples where I have fallen. My butt is about a foot off the ground. My hands are about 6 inches from the ground. The distance I fall when I have fallen on my trike has never had bothered me for more than a few minutes. I was distracted walking too fast in a trains station and with a little lip between the tiles I fractured my spine from the fall when walking. I think that the fact that I was so close to the ground has made the fall much less troublesome than if I were riding a standard bike where my butt would have been much higher. I have never seen a comment like this. Another example is once I was riding on a bike path with wet river silt which is like ice. My old recumbent bike went one way and I went the other on a turn. There was no serious injury but my clothes got dirty. You have to be sure that you are able to see both ways in an intersection and crawl slowly out into the intersection with a poor ability to see both ways around parked cars. Car doors can be a problem on a regular bike also. When you see cars parked you have to slow down and expect that someone will open a door in front of you or walk in front of a stopped bus or truck. The lower the center of gravity when you are riding a recumbent the less chance of falling. Also the harder it may be to get in and out of. I am 78 years old and I would not ride anything else at my age. I have super low gearing for the hills and headwinds. I ride slow up the hill but there are few hills I can't get up (very slowly).

      We haven't biked in Australia or Denmark yet, but would love to bike in those countries!

    it’s amazing how much more views your netherlands videos have instead of usa

      Ugh! it's true. The Dutch just really like their bikes. But the channel's goal is to get more people on bikes, which I hope we are achieving. It is interesting to see how different regions resonate with content! We love making videos about the Netherlands and the USA and I'm glad so many people enjoy them. Thanks for the comment.

    never use roof bike racks, they are way too heavy

    • @RideandShineBicycling
      @RideandShineBicycling Місяць тому

      I am with you. You are so right! Roof bike racks can be quite cumbersome. Unless you’re looking to add a little extra cardio to your bike trip by lifting weights on the roof, better to keep it on the hitch!

    I've had an e-assist trike for 4 years now , albeit it's a fairly expensive purchase (HP Velotechnik), fully suspended, premium seat , lights, flag and reflectors. There are no disadvantages that I have experienced, except for the fact of sitting so low, dogs just hate it when I ride past, so I maneuver to leave plenty of space.

      It's awesome to hear that you've had such a positive experience with your e-assist trike! We did a review on the HP Velotechnick and got to ride it. I was absolutely top of the line. The HP Velotechnik really makes some quality gear, and it's great that you've found no disadvantages. Maneuvering to avoid those furry friends is a smart move!

    No more details on how to secure the dining privileges to the French Embassy?? I do know the restaurant there offered take-away Thanksgiving dinners there a few years ago, and even finding that info was difficult.

      Ah, the elusive dining privileges of the French Embassy! All I know is that you have to email them to get started. franceintheus.org/spip.php?article6596

    I'd come to this realisation regarding the glasses and the slumped back. I need +3.00 for normal distance. Having a short back to torso doesn't help(Old and inflexible 56, I'm 5'7" with 33.25" inseam -for the reach I need none of the bikes have the right amount of stack, always too low at the bars with high saddle), neither does having an xl/xxl head like a medicine ball. I'm about to go flat bar conversion on my gravel bike and sell the road bikes, get back to upright as I don't see this ever getting any better and it's ruining any enjoyment!!

    • @RideandShineBicycling
      @RideandShineBicycling Місяць тому

      Sounds like you’ve been through the wringer with that bike setup! Good call on the flat bar-comfort is key! Hope it works out for ya! I had to change my stem and handlebars to produce more comfort.

    Being close to the ground doesn't make you more streamlined....it just makes you closer to the ground! Streamlining (air resistance reduction) comes from frontal area, shape , smoothness of flow, rear vacuum drag etc....all of which are an issue for both Recumbents an traditional bikes. Trikes have more wheel resistance and frontal area due to extra wheel and frame components. Your shoulders/torso are the wides part of you and a traditional biker can reduce that by posture whereas the trike cannot. An airplane flying very close to the ground only has better performance when its wingtips are low enough to break the vortex drag there (yes, very low!)....trikes don't have wing vortices. The difference between the height of a rider on a traditional bike an that of a trike rider is insignificant for wind drag.unless you are hiding behind a hedge. Someone please prove me wrong because I hear this argument all the time. I ride a two wheel recumbent and love it and am switching to a trike because of weather and slippery road issues. Recumbents are great but unless you put a fairing on them (easier than on a two wheeler) I suspect that if you are not trying to draft another bike or car/camper there is just as big of an issue with traditional bikes as with recumbents. I would have thought this issue would be very simple to do with some air tunnels by now.

      You've made some excellent points about aerodynamics and the factors that affect it! It’s definitely a complex topic, and it seems like the debate between recumbents and trikes will continue for a while. Enjoy your switch to the trike-sounds like a great choice for those weather conditions! Fantastic post. Thanks!
