The Way of the Roses... on a Brompton

We challenged two friends to bike-pack the iconic Way of the Roses ride, on Bromptons!
From coast-to-coast in northern England spanning 170 miles with a backdrop of stunning natural beauty. An unforgettable adventure was guaranteed, but it was never going to be plain sailing.
See how they got on…
Huge thanks to our pals Jon and Dan at Trail Creatives ( / trailcreatives ) for taking on the challenge and capturing the ups and downs of the ride so beautifully!

Interesting set up. I rode and filmed this route a couple of months prior. Beautiful and brutal even without 16” wheels 😂

Nicely done! Great filming gentlemen. I am a Brompton rider from Maine in the USA. I travel around the world teaching English and always bring my Brompton with me: South Korea, China, Hungary, Mexico and soon, Latvia--which, I hear has great, almost entirely flat biking. Cheers!

I did this route a few weeks back. I did the section to Settle via the Trough of Bowland (having done Morecambe to Settle on my Brompton a few months back). First two days on a laden mountainbike were brutal but I enjoyed it. It was my first multi day bike ride at the age of 59. I also fancy the Trans Pennine Trail.

I did this ride in August on my Brompton, camping along the way. It took me 6 days as I’m not a proper cyclist - hills have to be walked! It’s a lovely ride, you’ll get a good workout 🤗

@davebaker4620 10 ай бұрын

I have a couple of Bromptons - when repairing punctures I just fold the back wheel under so it rests on the rear rack and easy to remove either wheel without turning the whole bike upside down- much more stable like that too Nice trip but too many hills for me 😱😊

There's a "halfway" marker board in Pateley Bridge. We wuz there yesterday. Had you done the ride the other direction, you would have had to go *up* Greenhow, instead of down it. That would definitely have been the hardest hill on this particular East-West crossing. Kudos for handling the rain and all.

Greetings from David, Malaysia.Great ride, great bikes,great set up especially the rear rack and Pinnacle Panniers.Wonderful tour! Well done! Sadly,I do not have the financial strength to own a Brompton as it is VERY expensive over here.Instead,I could only afford a reasonable good clone in the form of the 3 Sixty,6-speeds at 1/3 the price. Please do share more rides! All the best!

I can’t believe you made the schoolboy error of presta pump and schraeder tube. However, the Brompton comes with a pump that’s schraeder presta compatible, mine did. Did you lose yours?

The handling dynamic of a Brompton is THE BEST. I can't stop riding mine. Selling my 700c commuter because it feels like driving a boat in comparison.

Why is there music throughout the majority of the video? I like to hear what you are hearing when you are riding. I find the music adds no value to the video other than being a very annoying distraction. At the beginning for a few seconds and at the end is just fine, but through the whole thing. No. Sorry.

@platypushatstand 10 ай бұрын

You have to remember this is a sub-10 minute advert. If you want detail, try: Susanna Thornton, Terrys all Bikes, The Brompton Traveller, Andy Longfellow (Andy’s videos have pleasant music, but no commentary).

@laurielyon7740 9 ай бұрын

I agree with your comments regarding the soundtrack…….. which some have described as music. Music can, of course, add immeasurably to a film. Or, as you are well aware, be an unnecessary distraction. If you haven’t watched any, view the Brompton Traveller clips, also on KZfaq. Not only is the camera work excellent, the music is for the most part entirely fitting. IMHO, there is no better bike travel clips better than those.
