    Dear BikeEconomic thank you so much for your video. I appreciate all the effort to show us a different lifestyle. The Brompton is a beautiful bike that its out of my reach here in Mexico. However probably some day I will be able to get one. Also, I enjoy the beauty of the country in UK. All the best and we are waiting for the next video.

      You can buy an exact Brompton copy from asia for around 1/4 to 1/3 the price

    Nice setup, bike and campervan.
    I borrowed my folks' campervan to follow the TdF a couple of times and really loved the freedom.
    As I rarely used a campsite, it meant having an "Aussie shower" in the van after cycling, by using some soap, a few flannels and a bucket of warm water to wash. This worked well, as thanks to The League of Gentlemen, the trick was to colour-code the cloths into a rhyme...
    White for hands
    Brown for feet
    Green for torso, thighs and seat
    And in the cupboard under there, is the one for... you-know-where! 🤗
    Happy travels!

    Lots of interesting things to see about this new Prompto folding bike. I'm on fire. I also have a small Peugeot Partnet van camping car that I have built. This bike could be the perfect solution. A 20" folding bike no longer fits inside, but this one does.
    I will start watching all these videos of yours. have a good weekend!

    Great video. i think you have a lot of charisma BUT ..... Video quality is a little poor here where i am thought i would let you know maybe due to low light ?? Iphone 16 or Sony A III ? ....... Great thing about the brompton is that you can use to fetch a mechanic or fuel if your 30 year old VW camper van breaks down while out and about 🙂PS A tip from me....... If you are in a rush and need to clean yourself - get 4 soft 40 x 40 cm micro fiber cloths and put them into a small bowl with hot water ( half a kettle for example ) well soaked put 3 to the side ( do not wring out ) use the 4th one to wash yourself with a bar of Soap not shampoo ( shampoo has to many suds ) wash yourself then use the 3 remaining cloths ( which are only hot water ) which are still hot and wet to rinse of what you washed with the first cloth.... To clean the 4 cloths use cold water and rinse them off thoroughly.... It works well ! and is a quick and capable way to clean yourself... not as good as a shower but still effective.

      Thank for the comments here, glad you like the videos. Sorry for the pixelation, the light was really bad as it so overcast. Will look into how to reduce this. The washing comments useful, may be try out your system :-).

    The rear rack has gone, did it break ?

    • @bikenomic1363
      @bikenomic1363  Місяць тому +1

      Use my T bag for day to day. But use the rack to attach a rugsack for tours which I hope to do in the spring so it will make a return :-). Thanks for the comments 🙂
