Hey. I was a riding marshal this year. At 7:02 where you pass cyclists on the left, that was where we were stationed to come out two by two to join the ride. My partner and I were sent out at 7:35AM.
I did the ride with my brother this year. Rode my Brompton again because it’s just so much easier to take on Amtrak. We started in wave 3 and ran in to a bit of that light mist for a while before it stopped. I was on the verge of being too cold the whole 40 miles because I was just riding in my t-shirt and shorts😅 I could have put my rain poncho on, but it never got bad enough that I wanted to deal with the hassle of taking it out, putting it on and having it flap around in the wind. When we were in line for the ferry it really started to rain and we were just standing around waiting instead of riding, so I took out the poncho.
I had to ride back uptown in Manhattan to get back to my hotel and it came down in sheets when I left the ferry, much worse than on the Tour. I got completely soaked.
It was my 2nd time riding on TD 5 boro bike tour, i just turned 70 last month and I completed the tour in 5 hours with 4 stops. May be I can to ride on an e-bike next year to make more stops as needed in my age
Yay I wasn’t expecting to be in the video at time stamp 33:57. @BromptonFamilyTime it was great seeing you both again. I’ve decided to volunteer this year as a course marshal along with Sherwin, I had mixed feelings at the end…it was fun at the start, but as they hours drag by waving your flags and blowing your whistle becomes tiring 😂 plus the rain and wind didn’t help either. I look forward to volunteering again…and probably start near manhattan next time….that way I could be released early once all the waves have passed by and we get released by our marshal captains. As always your videos never cease to amaze me throughout your journey.
Thank you for volunteering! After you waved your flag, you get to ride to the end? We did see a few Brompton riders but next year we would like to do it with the group again. I think the Brompton group ride is a better experience.
Great video. Nice to see all types of bikes represented Cruz bike fwd recumbent. BF tandem. And for some reason lots of Brompton bikes...;-). Why oh why do people stop for no reason in the middle of a turn. Good thing nothing happened except a bit of heat rate increase.
Inexperienced riders, often ppl who haven't ridden in decades will fly in and rent a bike. Bromptons are getting more and more prolific every time I come into The City. Truly taking over (though realistically Bromptons are tailor made for New York in a lot of ways).
Ohh man I was at wave 2 no wonder I didn’t see you. I did my first tour this year and watched your videos for advice those energy packs are a must I used the cliff gel cubes and they worked like a charm!!
Many thanks to share with us that amazing experience again. It looks harder than one year ago, no?. Probably the rain and the wind, the cyclist enemies
I found myself. I am the on the Brompton from 14:39-14:41 yelling Brompton at you two. The highway to the Verrazano Bridge at exit 25 was where my Marshal partner and I got stuck fixing flats, giving out tubes, and giving out food and pickle juice.
Hmm... that looked fun and not fun at the same time. Way too congested with bike traffic. How was your T-Line? Are you still happy with your upgrades? Also, it looks like you were spinning fast much of the time. Could you use more gears? Sorry about your back, too. Once it goes, it goes. Still, congrats to you and Shoko! Stay awesome! ...alright alright. ♥
Gopro Wrist Mount. We usually have three gopros on our rides. I use a quick release on another gopro for side shots too. It's fun but you have to be careful and make sure the road is smooth ahead.
What a great time out and the perfect way to enjoy the city despite the weather😂 curious, as a fellow eye glass wearer what’s your recommendation for glasses?
Was first wave too as a Member. Wish to have ran into you guys. Great vid as always. BTW, do you know what rear mud guard that was on the white brompton at the end? Looking for one that I can use with my carbon fiber rack
Hi Stan! I am going to run into one day soon! I will join as a member next year. I believe you are referring to the guard below: us.brompton.com/p/655/flexi-fender
higher handlebars are great for short leisure rides, but not for long distances. You sacrifice too much aerodynamics with an upright position. If you have an electric kit then it wouldn't matter as much.
👩🏻Hi. Standard fee is 140 plus processing fee, and VIP costs 400 plus the fee. The fee might change sometimes so i recommend you to check before registering for it.
As an elderly Dane, 76, I haven't met another person riding a Brompton, and I'm sorry that I'm unable to participate in an event like this🥲? How long is the ride? Finn. Denmark
@@BromptonFamilyTime Thank You. It was nice to follow the ride and I'm amazed that it is possible in the US, with hardly any bikes (compared to my home, Denmark!)

That was part of the reason we rode in wave 1. I hope next year will be better.
@@b.griffin317 Yikes, that part must have been miserable.

🤣🤣🤣
😂
3:00 There was also and "M" for member (of Bike NYC) and "C" for charity rider.
Thanks. I didn't know about the C.
Weather was a bit poor compared to last year but I really fancy coming over from the UK to do this!
It was a lot of fun, you should.
Please make a video on how you bike wash your T-Line and for Shu also! Love from UAE 🇦🇪

Good luck, have a good ride...
Yay I showed up in this video.
I decided to just volunteer thIs year.
Thank you for volunteering!
well done to both of you 👍

Wonderful day, bad weather but great mood. Hope your back and knees are getting better 👌
I was in wave 2 riding my DAHON and had a great time. Thanks for the video
Nice. Dahon's ride nice with the 20" wheels.
Great video! Thanks for sharing, I hope your back is feeling better today.
Oh that’s why I didn’t see you 😢 I’m looking for you and most of the brompton group is in the 3rd wave, be safe all the time 🫶🏼
We were indeed.
Next year I will be back with the group. I did miss riding with everyone.
10:35 if it sounds like a mosquito near the ear, the t-line's freewheel is not far away.
That's hilarious. You're right. It does sound like a mosquito.
So enjoyed that ride!
Always excited to see your videos!
You took me with you. Thanks!!!
Really enjoyed the video. Wave one!!!!
Congratulations and amazing to see the video thanks for sharing . Wish I rode my brompton some more ❤
This looks like so much fun! Nice shots of NYC too!
Ohh man I was at wave 2 no wonder I didn’t see you. I did my first tour this year and watched your videos for advice those energy packs are a must I used the cliff gel cubes and they worked like a charm!!
NIce! I only use the gels on long rides and they are definitely worth it. I hope you had a nice ride despite the weather.
@@BromptonFamilyTimeoh yes it was cold!! But I beat the rain stay safe out their

Good to see Juliet at the finish. I missed her. I had met her at a talk at the store by Eddie.

You should have yelled my name lol I would have stopped. I saw many Bromptons along the way! Thanks for volunteering again!
Nice editing

21:21....damn....crash and burn
I think he hit a bump and squeezed his front brake and flipped over.
城市骑行活动很赞！加油！

Greetings from Singapore. Hope you are feeling better, Shu!
Yes, thank you. I bought a new chair at work and it has helped alot.
cool ride thx for sharing!
🙌 Thank you to bring us with you, Choko and Shu 👏🥰 it is WONDERFUL ❤
National anthem, nice.
It looks fun. It was a good experience!
😀
34:00 What are you doing to get shots looking up? When I'm riding I'm too busy to try to handle my camera and look around with it.
Gopro Wrist Mount. We usually have three gopros on our rides. I use a quick release on another gopro for side shots too. It's fun but you have to be careful and make sure the road is smooth ahead.
Well done guys

Hi Stan! I am going to run into one day soon! I will join as a member next year. I believe you are referring to the guard below:
us.brompton.com/p/655/flexi-fender
@@BromptonFamilyTime yes, that's the one. Thx! I was hoping it fit the T line. I'll take a closer look.
Good footage of the event. May I ask what was your set up to capture these videos?
We have a few Gopro cameras. I was wearing the chest mount and Shoko had her wrist mount for this ride.
Hi BFT! Great video! Nice ride too. Just wondering what mount you used for your gopro that would fit on a Tline handlebar? Thanks!
It's GoPro large clamp.
@@BromptonFamilyTime Thank you!
I think it wouldn't hurt to get some higher handlebars, I can never fathom how people can ride with the low bars!
higher handlebars are great for short leisure rides, but not for long distances. You sacrifice too much aerodynamics with an upright position. If you have an electric kit then it wouldn't matter as much.
@@BromptonFamilyTime if you go 60 kph it matters, but at anything below 30 it's really not worth it to sacrifice comfort
BTF.. how do you like riding in bad weather with no fenders 🥸
I forgot my fender that day. It wasn't bad but I usually rinse the seapot off with water before I fold it.

Hi, what brand is the hip pouch your wife is carrying?
I use Red Pow Pack. It is perfect for Cycling and short hikes.
You did the bike tour on the Brompton T line 4 Speed ?
I was on my T Line 4 Speed and Shoko had her 2 Speed Swytch.
What's the black bag on top of your t line?
Hi! Brompton newbie here. Is it possible to sign up and join from abroad Or is this only for New York residents?
We know a few people travels to NY from foreign countries just to join this event. So I believe anyone can join!
Hi. How much is it to join the bike tour?
👩🏻Hi. Standard fee is 140 plus processing fee, and VIP costs 400 plus the fee. The fee might change sometimes so i recommend you to check before registering for it.
Thanks@@BromptonFamilyTime

40 miles ride through NYC.👍

They take you into the Bronx for only 15 minutes .. so no one gets robbed!!
