- Find out why bike mechanic Paul has had a break from riding his Brompton. He also discusses future Brompton videos we have planned and can you guess what his next Brompton upgrade will be?
We are Paul and Sarah of Velo Works and we love all things cycling including folding bikes, vintage bikes, bike touring and much more.
Details:
Bike: @bromptonbicycle P6R
Water Bottle Bag : @Restrapltd
Paul's day to day and touring bags for his Brompton are from @Vincitaofficial . We were kindly gifted a number of Brompton Bags from them but with no pressure to like them and we were not paid or asked to do this video or others.

Kudos from a Moultoneer - ride the wee wheels - glad you’re feeling better!
@@davidparry1982 thanks!
Just bought my wife a 6 speed c line so we can see more of the country by train / riding.
Could you do something about care for a Brompton between services please?
@@MrSportster12 ok that sounds like a good idea it’s on our list! Thanks. Also I hope she enjoys it! We do have a video about cleaning your Brompton so maybe worth a look at that in the meantime 👍 thanks for commenting
Ok Paul, you did ask for suggestions... I use mine to explore the South Downs. I tend to carry quite a lot of stuff on the front and back (photo &/or painting gear). Country lanes and tracks are my main routes. As Brompton are extending their range beyond their traditional city bikes, new riders will, I suspect, be thinking, how they might push their Bromptons beyond tarmac. Perhaps even bike packing. Keep up the good work promoting independent bike shops ...
Whoops I see there is/are some videos much earlier that cover some/all of this. Dunno how I missed them. Anyway, advice suggestions on off-road usage of a Brompton is always welcome. One issue I keep on getting is the mudguards getting chocked up, even when I've been pushing it through rougher parts - especially twiggy bits. So far my factory fitted Racer tyres have been fine (tempting fate) , but your thoughts on other tyre options welcome. The Brompton is so useful to be able to easily drive to the start of a ride, flick it open and pedal off. Yes, it may not be the best off-road option (marginally :-)) but it's surprisingly competent I'm finding. I get a fair few odd looks, but that's have the fun ...
Yes, the thing with health and age 😂
Ben has had hyaluronic acid injected into his knees because of his rheumatism and he has been much better since then.
We definitely don't want to give up cycling cause of health problems.
For us , it's either small wheels or gigantic wheels. Our Bromptons and fat bikes are actually the bikes with which we have the fewest physical problems. Except for ass pain after 100km 😝

@@thebrommuters6220 hi, thanks for watching and commenting! Interesting that the Brompton (and fat bike) is the one that gives you less pain! Glad you can keep cycling!
I've got a Brompton and I Love it. I ride it often in Melbourne yet I can't get myself motivated on a regular basis as my current job is physically exhausting all day. Maybe a video on that would be great... Welcome back on the brompton...
@@joechamma hi, thanks for sharing. Good idea for a video ! We will have a think 👍 And thanks for watching
i have a Brompton electric for a couple of years and it still runs like a train, love it a lot
@@mdascoota4293 these sound like a great option I haven’t tried an electric one though
So sorry you have been unwell. Wishing you better.
@@effyleven just a muscle imbalance but definitely much better now thanks!
Hi Paul,
Glad to hear that you're on the mend. The trouble wit the imbalance / inflexibility is it's usually such a gradual thing that you don't notice until it's got quite bad, and then it's a longer journey back to fitness. I've been seeing a physio once a month or so for decades ( I used to run silly distances ) and he picks things up before they become a major issue. With regard to your upgrade, I'm " going large " and reckon you're going to spread the rear triangle and fit a 14 speed Rohloff 😁
Keep well, and keep the videos coming.
@@devjon123 hi thanks for the comments and watching the video. You are very wise and this is what I’ll be doing in future. Interesting guess 🤔
I've been doing a prepare well orthopaedic course over the last 6 weeks as I'm having 2 hip replacements. All the physios on the course mentioned that although cycling is a brilliant form of exercise it does course an imbalance in the legs. Frontal thighs and calves get trained but hamstrings and glutes not so much. They gave me brilliant yoga type stretches that have helped big time.
@@paulrichmond9720 I think this echoes what my physio is saying so good to hear others say it too and the exercises I have are really sorting it out! Good luck with the hip replacements 👍
Oh let me guess Paul ,install an e-bike kit to the Brompton like you l love my Brompton bought 2 years ago from a bike charity shop in Gloucester l am finding that because of my dodgy knee and e-Bike conversion kit is the answer as l couldn’t justify purchasing a new electric Brompton anyhow looking forward to you and Sarah next video 😊
@@andrewmuirhead86 good guess! But not needed yet 😀🙏🤞🏻
Still my dream bike
@@normawingo5116 and mine!
Seems like a neat bike to have as a riding choice, I don't see a need for one and so far I don't get they hype for them either. But that is just me.
@@roguecode2354 thanks for watching! Completely understand your point of view. Sometimes it’s when you actually have it you realise how versatile it is and how it suits many aspects of your life!
Paul, time takes a toll on all of us. We all go through periods of ailing health. Sometimes, however, there is a bright side to the darkness. In your case, you've been fortunate at least three times. You've got Sarah. You've got your Brompton. And I don't know how you did it but, when God passed out character traits, you went through the good looking line twice. How'd you do it?
@@davidhunternyc1 Sarah here… isn’t he lucky! 😂
@@veloworks9266 OMG! Sarah! Obviously, the luckiest guy in the world! It must be nice to be a king _AND_ be dating the most beautiful girl in the world. ♥ .... I mean, seriously.
Is the cheeky upgrade a titanium seat post? I read somewhere those both lower weight and felt vibrations and I’m curious 🙂
@@henryjtodd 🔥😜
Whatever you do, don’t upgrade your camera person, she’s a keeper; obviously.
@@SimonBrowneNZ haha thanks Simon!
