I agree with you, more people should commute by bike. But it can also be stressful, especially in big cities and among many cars. I feel so lucky, having a peaceful route like this.
Junge! Das war einfach Toll! I LOVE my Brompton too. Meine Mutter kam aus Ulm, aber Ich bin Ami, in Miami Florida geboren und aufgewachsen... so my German is not the best, but your English "ist ausgezeichnet"! And yes, the film Perfect Days is very special indeed, saw it here in San Francisco, where I live for 40 years. Mach weiter und mach's gut! 😄
I recently got my first Brompton and have fallen in love with it. Your commute looks very beautiful and I totally appreciate why you would want that instead of sitting on a train. Thanks for sharing your commute!
Thank you. 🙂 Yes, it is the best part or at least a good lower bound for what the day brings. If the work day is great, I also have a nice ride. If the work day is not the great, I _at least_ have a nice ride. 😃
What an awesome, chill video. We get lots of fog in Central California too. I don’t ride here after daylight savings time because I don’t trust the crazy drivers a night. Your commute however seems so peaceful. Thanks for sharing!
@@BenContreras Thank you! I see, I would not do that either. To me it makes such a difference if I can enjoy the ride rather alone, separated from (car) drivers. So much more risk directly on the streets or on narrow sidewalks with lots of pedestrians and narrow bike lanes.
Nice video - I recommend the Brooks Flyer saddle with the springs at the back especially on a Brompton for a little suspension. Also a good pair of gloves for colder weather...
very beautiful countryside. thank you for sharing. am considering buying myself the electric Brompton. haven't ridden a cycle for over 30 years and at 67 think an electric one would encourage me to use it more!
Nice video I'm retired now but remember when I had a 5-30 am Start at work and I cycled in it really set me up for the day . your English is very good I myself have a Brompton A line .
@@cycgeist Thank you for your kind attention. The GO 3S is more convenient than an iPhone for shooting POV riding videos. You’re always welcome to visit Japan 😊
@@cycgeist Exactly, yes. I will do my usual trip by ICE from Berlin, and use the Brompton around Munich to my company's office, the client's office, and maybe some rides for enjoyment 🙂
I have just subscribed. Great vlog and what a fantastic commute! If you want a hands free experience with your iPhone, you could try an iPhone neck mount. There are many on the market and don't cost too much. Thanks for the tip on the iQX light. It will likely be my next purchase. Is yours a dynamo? If so, does it turn off the second you stop moving? I have to also add, you speak English far better than many English people I know! I look forward to other vlogs. Safe riding. Mal.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear that about my English skills. I will look into neck mounts. And the IQ-X is a game changer in terms of light. And yes, it is a dynamo light. My Brompton has the stock dynamo hub. The IQ-X does not turn off the second I stop moving. Through the capacitor it provides light for a few more minutes. You can see that in my night ride video just in the beginning, where the bike is standing in the dark. However, by clicking the light's button, the IQ-X can directly be turned off manually. Some other great bike lights like SON Edelux 2 can't be turned off like this directly.
Thank you so much. The ride is around 15 to 25 min, depending on mood and pace. It is around 6 kilometers. In the video I really took my time to share not only the route but also the experience of my commute as good as possible.
@@martinkiefer6733 ah okay, I did not use any noise cancelling. You can hear the original sound recorded by the iPhone itself. Later, I did the voice-over in a quiet room using the AirPods. Hope that answers your question. :)
Beginner mistake: buying the saddle before trying it out, we‘ve all been there…
commuting to work by car: road rage, stress, fumes and noise
commuting to work by bike: chill, cozy, healthy
The video was so enjoyable, thank you for sharing. An easy watch with a lot of beautiful countryside. A treat.
@@taber247 That is so nice to hear and motivates me to produce more videos, thank you! 🤩
It's insane that more people don't commute by bike as beautiful and peaceful as it is.

Wow, thank you so much and "liebe Grüße" to San Francisco! Ich wünsche dir immer eine gute Fahrt auf dem Brompton. 🚲🫶

Thank you so much 🥰 Enjoy your Brompton and I wish you always a safe ride!
Heeeeeyyyy!!!! Me too! 👊Congrats!!!!
What a beautiful ride. I only get to commute in the city among the cars and busses. This looks like paradise to me!
What a glorious commute to work and back! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you! That motivates me to produce more videos in the future. 🚲🫶
What a beautiful commute! Already subscribed to the channel! Can’t wait to see more ❤
Really enjoyed the videos so far, phone is great quality and places cycled are very nice.
look forward to more content thanks.
Beautiful and serene.
Wonderful. Beautiful, place, travel and bike!
Thank you so much. 🚲🫶
Lovely video. An inspiration in many ways.
Looked good with your iPhone. Thanks for sharing, nice commute. You speak English very well 😊
What a beautiful area! I bet the commute is the best part of your workday! 😀
And folding bicycles are awesome! I ride a Pacto folder myself

Alda ! super gemacht - und keine falsche Bescheidenheit - auch sehr gutes Englisch gesprochen - mach weiteer so!

What a beautiful commute to work. The ability to experience the countryside and nature, particularly after work must help to wind down. Good video 👍
@@martynlejeune5191 Indeed, it does. Thank you so much!
Nice video - I recommend the Brooks Flyer saddle with the springs at the back especially on a Brompton for a little suspension. Also a good pair of gloves for colder weather...
Thank you and also thanks for the saddle recommendation.
Amazing commute - lucky to have it ! i even stayed at a not great job longer than I would have otherwise, because it had a great commute.
Thank you for your comment! Haha, that employer had some hidden benefit. 😄
very beautiful countryside. thank you for sharing. am considering buying myself the electric Brompton. haven't ridden a cycle for over 30 years and at 67 think an electric one would encourage me to use it more!
Thank you for your comment. Yes, that sounds like a good choice and use-case for an Electric. Welcome back to the cyclists soon!
you and probably riding are amazing to watch! inspiring me to make my own content like this
Thank you so much, I feel honored by such a comparison. Go for it! 🚲
Nice video I'm retired now but remember when I had a 5-30 am Start at work and I cycled in it really set me up for the day . your English is very good I myself have a Brompton A line .
@@keithdainton6043 Thank you. Wow 5:30 is early, my respect that you used to cycle to work despite that.
I also commute by Brompton, but the roads I take are all in a crowded city. What a lovely place you’ve found to ride!
@@PixelPedalsOfTomakomai Thank you. I would love to take my Brompton to Japan one day!
@@PixelPedalsOfTomakomai I like your videos, too. Interesting to see, that you use the insta360 go 3s. I might get this one in the future as well. 🤔
@@cycgeist Thank you for your kind attention. The GO 3S is more convenient than an iPhone for shooting POV riding videos. You’re always welcome to visit Japan 😊
Lovely ❤ I want that front bike bag
Thank you! That is the Metro Messenger Bag in L. I am happy with it so far.
awesome video i love chill bike rides like this ^_^
Danke für das Video. Du hast mehr Selbstdisziplin als ich, mein Brommie macht grad Winterschlaf 😊
Haha, meins wird gerade auch nicht mehr jeden Tag benutzt.
This video is chill~ ☕
Thanks for watching. 🫶☕️🚲
"Probably Riding" vibe right there
Probably a big inspiration for me 🚲🫶
This was my guess, also.
Good vibes
Impressed with the front light it makes a difference
Yes, the stock light is like a candle in front of the bike compared to it.
Nice video, keep making this kind of commuting video!👍
@@jorgeperazza7019 Thank you very much! 😃 That is the plan.
I also take my Brompton to Munich ! I will be there next week. Maybe I will see you !
Nice, do you use it for getting around during a trip?
@@cycgeist Exactly, yes. I will do my usual trip by ICE from Berlin, and use the Brompton around Munich to my company's office, the client's office, and maybe some rides for enjoyment 🙂
Hey, CycGeist, I recognize your workplace thanks to the sliding tubes in the central hall. 12:00 in the video.
@@mardiffv.8775 no need for a coffee if you have these slides 😁
Sehr schönes einfaches Video. Reicht völlig aus. 👍

Nice Video! My guess is that you like and perhaps are inspired by the videos of the Channel @Probably Riding ;)
@@kaymas123 10/10 ❤️🚲
OMG. When I saw these videos and narration style I immediately made a mental connection between this channel & probably cycling channel.
Awesome commute and video! Loved the ride along. How long is the ride? It looks long lol
Thank you so much. The ride is around 15 to 25 min, depending on mood and pace. It is around 6 kilometers. In the video I really took my time to share not only the route but also the experience of my commute as good as possible.
I wonder about the great calm ride and maybe you wear a special chste belt for recording ?
Just my hand. Probably iPhone's "Action Mode" removed some shaking. I rode not too fast and very considerate to not drop the phone.
Well done with fine view. Which Version of the iPhone is used and did you keep noice cancelling on it ?
Thank you! iPhone 15 Pro was used. What do you mean by jeep anoice cancelling?
@@cycgeist sorry, i didn`take care of my autocorrect. Who made a keep to jeep
@@martinkiefer6733 ah okay, I did not use any noise cancelling. You can hear the original sound recorded by the iPhone itself. Later, I did the voice-over in a quiet room using the AirPods. Hope that answers your question. :)
What mount do you use for your Garmin? Is that just a rubber band that's holding on to the bars?
@@alvinukchannel1209 It is a Sigma cycling computer. Its mount is held by cable ties.
👋👍
