Hello, my name is Brian and I create videos about Brompton bicycle commuting with some Brompton adventure cycling. I cover a myriad of bicycle topics and vlog my experience on a bicycle living in Denver Colorado.
I moved away from Denver…..channel update.
I moved a way from Denver…. Mainly to help family and partially because of how much it cost to live there. In This video we discuss where I’ve been and what’s in store for the future.

Great review!!! 💜💖
Life happens man. You evolve as the changes come. We're here to continue watching and supporting you. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey …… from the UK……… great video! Thank you so much for these. Looks like a fun ride and your choice of music hits the nail on the head. Have a great day.
you can also take the chance to upgrade to a titanium triangle. :)
Just watched a few of your videos mainly because here in the UK, I've had multiple Bromptons over the years and just bought the G Line last week. So everything Brompton is dropping into my feed. I like the earthy style of your channel and the video work looked really good with the drone and cuts to bike shots and back again - some nice professional looking continuity and videography. I hope you get your life stuff sorted well - these things are sent to try us - as they say. Look forward to more creative content once you are back into the groove.
Stay ninety.
congratulations on better paying job and renewed life. wish you the best.

This is the same argument people have been having ever since disc brakes came out. You are not seriously going to compare idisc brakes and v-brakes in wet conditions are you? (The guy making the comment, not you). Disc are not more complicated, just different, get over the "complicated" routine, they're just different. They aren't going ANYWHERE!!! The car didn't stop replacing the horse. The TV didn't stop replacing the radio. Disc brakes are not going to stop replacing rim brakes. Get over it. The electric car will not stop replacing the gas car. EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE even if you don't want it to. Get over it, you can't stop it. Even big box stores are selling more and more disc brakes, it's just the way it's going, learn to live with it or just be a grumpy old man about it, quite frankly, YOU'RE not going to be able to stop it just because you don't like it.
Louisville Indiana??? no such place on Google Maps
Perhaps it's precisely the relatively high profile case of your being a Brompton content creator that makes endorsing a warranty claim especially risky for them - it sets a public precedent that others may look to...
Very informative, thanks for sharing.I now know enough to be dangerous,definitely not an easy job,also nothing to service here,replacement the wiser choice.
I’m curious,is the bike not worth repairing? Why replace the bike over a $300 at most part? I would think that rear triangle replacement would make great content for this channel.
Good report, with some great observations. I just ordered a D3 Pro. I will get a cable lock that I can thread through the frame, saddle, and a policeman (!) so carrying the seat around is not required.
Did you receive your bike ? I just ordered mine and I found that there are many delivery issues
Thank you for that seat lock idea, really appreciate it and will definitely do that, hate carrying the damn seat
I’m considering buying a Polygon Urbano 5, have you ever tried one? It seems like a very nicely speced bike.
hi,brain,the B.D.R bag also feet at pline rack,i saw official website said no,but u brompton is pline,so just wondering to ask u,thx😅
Yeah I can understand why they didn't approve it also. Touring on a Brompton is WAY beyond any use that a Brompton is meant for. They are OUTSTANDING in multi mode travel/commute and nothing even comes close. The only thing that does a better job is living closer to work so you can ride a bike the entire way. That being said, a trailer is part of the weight the bike can handle? That really doesn't make much sense, and that was just what Brompton really needed to deny the claim... along with the warranty not being registered. If you went by the "use" policy of any bike, it would never be used.
Overpriced toy. I rather watch John Wick chapter 3.
Great reviews of the bags. They certainly look very professional, well thought out and the whole touring package looks excellent 👏
One thing you need to be extremely cautious of is stolen used bikes. One of the biggest tells that you are buying a stolen bike is weird prices, the next tell that it’s a stolen bike is that they don’t know hardly anything about the bike. The less they seem to know, the more likely that it’s stolen. I just sold a bike that was in “excellent” condition… I had only ridden it about four times. I’ve got another bike that I use and I’m getting ready to depart on my sailboat and ended up not needing it. A used bike is a coin flip at the very least. Be prepared to take it to a bike shop.
Thanks for posting this, I did some research a month ago before a 10 day trip and missed them. They look great so I'll check them out before the next trip 😊
Great review
Welcome back, dood. As a Brompton owner in NKY, I can tell you: 1) You RARELY see a Brompton. Seriously, hardly ever. 2) Do your own repairs/maintenance because most bike shops have never seen one and are clueless about them (unfortunately, even the local "dealer").
❤
Denver will miss you! Sorry we never had the chance to meet while you were here...
And Brompton loosing followers for not to replace your rear triangle. Nice to see you again.☺
Nice to see you again Brian. We’ve missed you buddy.
Good luck mate. You are a hard worker and deserve better.👍
Brian, great to see you back and on your feet/wheels again. Also nice to see scenes from KY and southern IN. Happy to see new content when you're up to it.
Good to see you back bro

Thanks for the update Brian. I was wondering where you went and if you were ok. Glad to see you back. I really enjoy your videos. I didn't know you had kids. I hope all works out well. Take care.
Hi Brian, I hope the best in Indiana. Big changes could be so difficult but be patient. Best regards
and here we thought you were this lonely, grumpy guy that just rides his bikes all the time. you don't owe us an explanation. go enjoy time with your family!
Missed you a lot,and no we are not going anywhere we are here with you,much love and respect.

Great to see you again Brian. I have to say Indiana looks far less manic and far safer as a cyclist. Denver certainly had a buzz about it but it did look as though you took your life in your hands every time you went out. Busy roads, cyclists, joggers etc. This video looked so much quieter. Big change but hopefully things will work out well for you and the family. Good luck in finding a home that's perfect for you.
Glad your back.Good luck with the move and looking forward to the next video.
Welcome back Martin see you in another two months .
Good Luck with you new adventures.
We appreciate your content. Thanks a lot for the past reviews and tour. Keep up the great work.
We like you Brian 😊 a pleasure to follow you ❤
Exactly why I wouldn't get a brompton, proprietary parts and for the money they should have more dealers
Missed you, Brian! Not only did I buy a Zizzo Liberté based on your site, I bought a Bern Helmet, too! Whats the rest of your gear that you wear? It looks cool in an urban IDGAF kind of way.
i think you are one of the top tier bike youtubers. glad to see you back and getting your footing. stay focus . . . you got this
Glad your back, added a liberte to the forte.i prefer the forte so far but both are great.
So glad you're OK Brian, I was worried that something had happened to you on your travels. I hope it all works out for you and your family. Great video as always and Indiana looks fab to me as a foreigner. You need to get Beans back to catch any bugs in your new house.
Fab to see you back, looking forward to whatever you have to share with us here and on the new channel. Best of luck with it all and best wishes to you and the family 👍🏼😊
