From city breaks to local rides, we love the fact the Bromptons can come with us. You're all welcome to join us too as we find new routes across the globe.
Lovely video just can’t get enough of scenes of a Brompton biking through the English towns and countryside. Question: it looks like you have the IKEA bag that is popular among Brompton owners, do you feel comfortable slinging it around your shoulder and feel it strong enough, not to have the Bromton wear -through? Obviously, but, if you could just describe how well this works and how long you think the bag will last?
I love your videos. I own a Brompton and love it. Would love to take it to London one day. I’ve been there for vacation but now that I have a Brompton, I’d love to come back. New subscriber here. Keep with the videos!! I’ll be watching. 🥰
Thank you so much for the positive comments. They are very much appreciated. I highly recommend riding a Brompton around London. We have been visiting the city for years and have been too many times to count. But, we get to see so much more now that we take our Bromptons with us. Add it to your wish list and good luck with your plans. Thanks for subscribing too.
Hi John thanks for watching and commenting. I do try add some commentary to some vlogs here and there, but I will take your advice and try and add a bit more. Thanks once again. Mal.
False advertising! As a little more than Standard Size Dane I'm not - at all able to put my Brompton in my B&W black box, without taking it mostly apart!! And if so, all bikes are "Folding Bikes"! The only way I may do it with out, is to use a Telescope Post, which will near double the weight of my now, well below 9 kilo, and much former than 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton (All Danish Bromptons are delivered with a 600mm Post, as Standard, without extra payment, for our Sins (and mudguards, as Danes)! And it won't fit inside a B&W box) 😄. And do protect your frames against scratches during Folding! I did gave my - New Brompton a full Auto Polish as a first, and found out that after two or three folds, one clear tape "Protection" had been near worn through to the paint!! And the Chinese Export rose with several % after finding this out, and building a new "Brompton Protection Plate, Industry" from that! In all colors and materials! Finn. Denmark
Hi Finn, now I'm very confused! However, that's not an unusual state to be in these days. It must be my age. On this occasion, however, I'm confused at the fact that you cannot get your Brompton into a B&W case without a certain amount of dismantling. I am 6'3" so find the standard post far too short. As such, I currently have three Bromptons, all of which have longer than standard seat posts fitted. My M6L has a 580mm Bromptification post, and my CHPT3 V2 and my P-Line have 600mm posts fitted. As you will see from the New York vlog, both my CHPT3 and my P-Line fit in the cases with just the need to remove the seat. I'm guessing there's only one size B&W case? 🤔 Thanks for watching and commenting BTW.
@@BromptonHabitude-fe1in I tried to put it into my B&W box (The Black Luggage version on wheels. I think they have made it a little larger, but not much?). And it didn't fit with my long seat post without being removed - sadle off and out from the bottom!! For now I use a Black Titanium Standard Length, 535mm post with a turned below saddle clamp, and I do hope that this may enable it to be put inside? I just pull it out to full length. But as a Heavy Dane (Not a Great Dane!) I punch it down during rides, so it isn't that effective! I will try some friction paste though? Finn
@@BromptonHabitude-fe1in I still find having to remove my saddle too much for a named, Folding Bike! I may have been able to leave my post in the bike, but I didn't try that! I did remove my post also. By that I'm 76 and my dear wife complains about my lack of memory, near every day! And I am a little past 6" as 184cm. Finn. Denmark

I like your Brompton's attitude.
Many thanks!

You’ll have to let me know next time you’re in Brum/London 🤘🏾
Absolutely!
Please speak! A commentary would add SO SO much to a great video.

...in fact, I'm so confused, I'm going home to measure my Brompton tonight!
