Gianni, you are a genius! Your travel videos (traveling on Brompton) are "spot on and long overdue! As I watch each of these, you answer each question I have in my mind. I've owned my Brompton for just over a year and the cycling season in Nebraska much shorter than other states, therefore, I have not done any tours on my Brompton....yet. As I watch each of your videos ( which I enjoy very much ), you manage to somehow second guess many of my questions about travel on the Brompton. Years ago I did some touring in New York and Vermont (when I lived in upstate New York) on my Trek520 carrying front and rear panniers. Naturally, traveling on the Brompton is quite different than a fully loaded touring bike and you have proven (many times through your videos) that the Brompton is a great touring bike with some adjustments. Your videos do an outstanding job of answering my questions about "transitioning from my Trek 520 touring bike to the Brompton. Thank you doesn’t seem to express my heartfelt gratitude for the great work you have done with the traveling series. 😄🙏

Chuck thanks again. Your comments are what makes the time I spend doing these videos very much worth it. Regular touring bike vs Brompton depends mostly on whether you need to move the bike to the place you start and if you need to transfer it while you are touring. If I was leaving home and returning home on the bike I probably would choose a regular bike but I must say after five years of touring only on my Brompton I have grown really fond of the way it rides and the convenience it brings.

So clever! You have obviously put so much thought in to your packing - it's very necessary for you of course - and it is most generous of you to share your tips. To be honest, whether cycle touring or not, a lot of these tips are helpful for ALL travellers. Would you be prepared to make a video one day on "admin preparations" for your trips, including vaccinations, visas, booking accommodation away from the tourist trail, "get out of jail" plans etc? I appreciate that it isn't directly Brompton related, but as I watched, for instance your Pakistan video, I had those thoughts a lot. Thanks for all of the vicarious fun!

@BromptonTraveler
@BromptonTraveler 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for Qs! Long johns is a very light layer that I mostly use to sleep but if you tour in cold weather long johns can also be worn under the light outdoor trousers I bring with me. They are so light and take so little space that they have become an essential item for me. Brim hats usually have a soft string with adjustment that you tighten under your chin otherwise as you say I would have lost far too many...!

Yes, I use a Lezyne mini pump. The Brompton one is only good as an emergency but not capable enough to pump tyres to pressure. I have a video on the pump on my channel. Not sure what you exactly mean about wrapping a Brompton.

@@pianomom1108 I talk about it in this video about punctures... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLeTat17u97JlGw.html Wrapping service of course depends in which country and airport? In europe and UK it is around 10 to 15 Euros/Pounds but it varies a little. Sorry no video on telescopic post but that is what I use. I can really recommend it as it makes the folded bike smaller and you can remove the saddle easily. Thanks!

Hi Gianni! I like your hat! The idea of attach a flag of the country that you are visiting is great! Can you tell us what hat is? The brand and model... Thanks!
@BromptonTraveler
@BromptonTraveler 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Josep I think so too. Also the brim hat is great in keeping you cool if you soak it in water and it will keep you in the shade. Any brim hat will do. My older one was from a market in Vietnam but was falling apart so I purchased a new one online. I got mine on eBay and a search for Men-Camo-Military-Boonie-Cap-Sun-Brim-Bush-Army-Fishing-Hiking-Bucket-Hat should help you find one. Get a cheap one as stitching the flags on will eventually mess it up! Cheers

@BromptonTraveler 4 жыл бұрын
Indra Indra thanks for the question Indra. Some people asked before saying I should wear one and that it isn’t safe to go without. I usually tell them that I know I am taking some extra risk but I like a soft hat as I find it much more comfortable to wear all day. We all take some risks when touring and that is one I am willing to take. Otherwise I ride always with extra care as I am on a folding bike and small wheels make it easier to fall. Thanks

How do you protect yourself in a heavy downpour, don't your feet and ptrousers get wet ?
@BromptonTraveler
@BromptonTraveler 3 жыл бұрын
I have a Gore-text jacket otherwise I don't normally ride in too cold conditions if I can help it, and getting my trousers or feet wet doesn't bother me that much. the trousers I wear are very quick to dry. I cycle in sandals too so I remove the socks if the temperature allows it. I have some rainproof over trousers but I have always found them too uncomfortable and in the end with condensation I often felt that I would still get somehow wet. I think touring in winter freezing conditions would need a different approach but this works well for spring and summer.

ciao!! video utilissimo!! volevo chiedere: non usi i pantaloncini imbottiti per ciclista? e il casco? penso sia importante trasmettere il messaggio di sicurezza jn bici, anche se vai relativamente piano, poichè spesso ci si trova in strade trafficate e comunque è una protezione in più se pur mjnima.
@BromptonTraveler
@BromptonTraveler 6 жыл бұрын
Ciao Marisa e grazie per le domande. I pantaloncini imbottiti sono l'unico abbigliamento ciclistico che a volte ho portato ma nei miei ultimi viaggi non li ho usati. Sono difficili da lavare in quanto l'imbottitura ci mette molto ad asciugarsi. Certamente alcuni ciclisti non ne farebbero mai a meno. Il casco è un dibattito infinito tra chi lo ritiene indispensabile e chi preferisce farne a meno. Sono molto prudente quando viaggio, ancora di piu' su un Brompton. Certo cadere o essere vittime di incidenti è sempre possibile e so che in certe occasioni può salvare la vita. E' una scelta personale che tanti ciclisti condividono e altrettanti no... Grazie e saluti.

Ome Liak it depends on type of saddle and material of trousers. I use zip off outdoor trousers from North Face and with a Brooks leather saddle I don’t see too much wear. Outdoor or trekking trousers are usually quite tough whatever brand you choose.
