    Thank you Shu and Shoko. Just got done watching all your uploads. I recently sold my P-Line M handlebar and got a T Line S Type. I absolutely love it. I do the same thing you guys do but in San Diego. I recently got a GoPro and am also thinking about uploading videos to UA-cam. You guys are motivating me, we need more Brompton videos. Thank you guys so much.

      Great! I would like to ride all over the States one day. The Gopro 12 has been working great. Good luck!

    The bike you said was Walmart. Diamondback one of the pioneers of mountain bikes. Not from Wally World but a bike shop.

    I was just in NYC visiting family. I got a few rides in on a borrowed bike. I was wishing I had a Brompton of my own. I keep looking at them, but I live in suburban California and a small bike is not necessary. I will get one in a few years when I retire and will be traveling for extended periods. On a different subject, I found out that there is a campground at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island. Maybe you could do some Brompton Family Camping next summer 😊

    06:53 That bus didn't hang about and give much room! Typical some drivers fly past you very close and then you pass them on a red. Nice ride 👍

      Unfortunately that happens often with big vehicles. The city needs more bike lanes.

    OMG, I love your T-Line sooo much! Super rad. I simply love your flat bars too with the bar ends positioned in the middle. Never seen that before. I've got to get a bike so I can ride with you over the GW Bridge.

    The vlogs you guys put out inspire us so much we packed our CHPT3 and P Line and headed to NYC last month. We had a great time and even managed to test ride the T Line. There's not too many available in the UK so I was super pleased. It was so much fun we are sure to be back again soon. Many thanks and happy travels.

    I have a feeling that your carbon handbrakes may have an impact on your safety, for example you would be less likely to reduce your speed when you go through a cross section for fear to break them.

    • @BromptonFamilyTime
      @BromptonFamilyTime  9 місяців тому +5

      I have occasionally braked hard and had no problems. I am glad there are two brakes. I usually only use the front brake unless I need to stop or I am going downhill.

  • @drewsmith7726
    @drewsmith7726 9 місяців тому +4

    Do your brakes make a buzzing noise? Is that a carbon rim brake thing? (Happy holidays!)

    • @BromptonFamilyTime
      @BromptonFamilyTime  9 місяців тому +1

      I'm not sure how to describe it but it can definitely be heard when I am coming to a stop at a light. I am also wearing rain pants that make way too much noise. I bought new pants so that should help with the sound I hope. Thanks for watching.

    Shu: For your future Bromptons have you ever considered electrifying one? Rather than Brompton's E-model you could build your own with Grin Tech's kits like Small Wheel Wonder did.

    • @BromptonFamilyTime
      @BromptonFamilyTime  9 місяців тому +5

      I have looked into Electric systems many times but I have never tried one so I keep backing out. I do not have good luck with electronics and I break them (not just bike electronics). I am looking into an E Bike though so there will be one on the channel in the future.

    • @drewsmith7726
      @drewsmith7726 9 місяців тому +3

      Make sure you try out the e-bike before you buy it. Some have some serious lag when starting or stopping the pedal assist. I find those to very annoying and very unnatural feeling. I bought a Specialized turbo como sl for my wife and there isn’t much lag on that one. It feels pretty natural.

    • @BromptonFamilyTime

    Have you considered adding a Swytch (or similar) e-conversion to the T line? I'm just outta the Brompton store and they advised against it as the carbon fork would struggle, but I don't see the problem.

      My favorite type is the T Line. I love my superlight too, but it is noticeable different in riding. Make sure you test each model as they all feel different.
