Man those RUINA bikes are a crazy deal! Even in the Netherlands, home of cheap, practical, and simple bikes, it's rare to see a new bike less than $500. Especially since the Ruina bikes are made in Spain!
There's something about folding and other bikes made for dense urban lifestyles, and that cockroach-looking bug that scuttles across the floor (from 3:45) with its wings out but unable to fly, that seem to go together wonderfully. On a different note, cool memories of early eighties NZ made Raleigh Twenty come to mind.
Wonderful video and summary Russ, I was there and thanks to your video, I saw some things that I missed. I would keep so many more bikes if I didn’t live in an apartment.😬
Nice to see IGH bikes. I have a IGH and I love it when I forget to shift down when I stop, just downshift at the stop. Notice that you don’t seem to pay extra for the IGH. In the US IGH are not that common and seem to cost extra. Interesting bikes.
Nice vid. Probably the reason for the difference between the P and T Bromptons, especially on that smooth flat test track is that T lines are fitted with Schwalbe ONE black tyres, whereas the P are fitted with the heavier, slow rolling Conti Urban Contacts.
Interesting stuff, as always. Thanks "guys". I'll send you a recent picture of a rigid 18 litre top tube bag for Dahon folder with Shimano hub. It was fairly easy to construct and is extremely stable. The Ruina is an ideal candidate. Cheers ... Guy
Bicycle porn making me wish I didn’t fully indulge the cycle algebra of n+1. Glad you’re enjoying the adventure and keeping the faith - long live party pace!
Alot of 20" wheels looks like, they don't have to be slow and can handle rough terrain better than I think people think, plus they are way stronger and bring you closer to nature (or at least the asphalt, lol!)
I've got to figure that the motorcycle "top-boxes" that are so popular here in Oz that are branded Shad, are the same company...? The plastics look similar. Great post Russ. I've never met a bike I didn't want to ride.....
@@PathLessPedaledTV good to have it but most of the regular people who commute by bike won't attend such expos, the same way as most people who commute by cars won't attend car expos. The main audience I suppose is bike enthusiasts and journalists/bloggers as well as people wanting to switch to bike as their commute option and actively searching for a new bike to buy.
Those Urbanbiba minivelo cargo bikes look amazing in concept, but won’t they flex like hell when loaded, because everything hinges on a single frametube? Asking because if not, I want one. Now.
It looks like the P-line had Marathon tires and the T-line had Schwalbe Ones. I bet that is a lot of the difference that you felt, the One tires are much lighter and more supple.
Thanks man! I appreciate a lot to met you and talk about our Kekosa Bike! Regards from Michele of Kekosa Bike🙌🏻
Loved to see something different and creative, nice.
@@chriss6971 thank you! 🤟🏻
The Kekosa bikes look really cool; love the swoopy frame! Work of art.
What fun. Thoroughly enjoying the different perspective on bikes.We're definitely not in Montana anymore.
Some really cool designs, the Ruina is such a cool concept and great to see a bike primarily manufactured in Spain.

Man, those minivelo cargo bikes were nuts - what an idea
I would add one to my stable in a heartbeat.
Spotted the "partypace" sticker xx
Such cool stuff at this show I love it! I had no idea SHAD made bike stuff but it makes sense given all the great products they have for motorcycles.

Love the minivelos
Super interesting bikes, thanks for making a video about them :)
Thanks Russ, great video. It was fun to see all of these different bikes.
the Shad cargo bag thing looks really practical.
Thanks!
Thank you for bringing Shad Bikes to more users🥰

Love the more urban direction of the channel. Useful bikes have a big future.
You've nailed it on the small wheels and cargo designs.

You need a Brompton!
Love your channel! Always a new perspective on the bicycle scene. Those bikes nice. E-powered or analog, just get out there and ride!

Not a lot of fenders for it being a commuter bike show! Great video. Thank you.

Great presentation 👍

helmets are by Unit 1 not Carbo
These are fantastic bikes a thanks for sharing all of them.
That Ruina looks like it's as heavy as a boat anchor.
The Ruina looks like a sketch version of the Mini CIC, the most popular steel bike in Chile in the 70s
Cool looking bikes 😊
That looked like a fun day with interesting bikes. Any chance that Brau Cycles was there with their Brampton-sequence folding cargo bike?
Unfortunately not.
I'd go for a used T line for the price of a P line or lower.
Great shoes! What are those?
Hi Russ, were the wheels and tires on the Brompton T Line upgraded over the other models?
Yes. Carbon wheels and lighter tires with TPU tubes.
Some of those bikes look like they'd be good for pulling manuals, especially with that challenging test track.
Hey, do a Manuel!
¿Qué?
The folding trike is super cool.
Are you coming to Frankfurt to visit Euro Bike 2024?
Yes. Going to Eurobike!
@@PathLessPedaledTV ❤️
Cool! Is it an expo dedicated exclusively to commuting and travelling?
Yes, it is!

@@PathLessPedaledTV on a higher note, Ruina is an interesting name for a bike brand to see, especially for a Slavic languages speaker ^_^
From the land of Dali. Some interesting designs
Fantastic!
The minivelos are awesome…thanks for sharing your visit of ciclosferia👍🏻😎
Interesting!
now i see why u moved , out of all the bile shows this is truly Nice , the function and Design is Artistic Finnaly Nice Bikes

The rear is triangulated and the front is no different than other front loader/Omnium designs. I think for most uses it won't be a problem.
I want to see a KTSSD sticker in a KISS style, just sayin. 🤘🏻 It would rock and I would buy a pack of 10 or 2 for all my rides
Nice round and different but the same
It looks like the P-line had Marathon tires and the T-line had Schwalbe Ones. I bet that is a lot of the difference that you felt, the One tires are much lighter and more supple.
Russ you need a legit PLP mic flag!
Russ’s new business: import export EU to US bike market 😂
sorry but the ruina bikes are a ruin to look at xD
brompton stealing the show with their overpriced origami
Looking very Spanish there Russ!
