Thanks a lot :)

@@staskucherenko your welcome :-)

Алексей, добрый день, спасибо за ваш комментарий )) С велосипеда все началось, но потом добавил силовые тренировки и поменял питание / начал делать интервальные голодовки. Велосипед сам по себе сжигает много энергии (за длинную тренировку на пару часов в среднем темпе можно спалить 2-3к калорий), но потом очень растет аппетит и метаболизм быстро приспосабливается чтобы эффективнее расходовать энергию, что уменьшает эффективность похудения. Силовые тренировки в первую очередь нужны чтобы увеличить мышечную массу, что повышает базовый расход энергии в состоянии покоя, и по большому счету позволяет есть больше и при этом не набирать вес. Ну и диета - наверное самый эффективный инструмент, из того что я читал, можно многими способами оптимизировать диету, но в любом случае главный принцип - есть меньше калорий чем сжигается в день. Интервальные голодовки - тоже штука неоднозначная. Мне этот инструмент очень нравится, так как это в первую очередь очень удобно, плюс есть некоторые исследования, которые говорят что в целом периодические голодовки имеют преимущества для здоровья, но с ними есть риск потери мышечной массы, так что есть плюсы и минусы.

Thanks :)

My pleasure, thanks for your comment, glad you liked it :)

Sure, happy to help :)

Thanks :) Welcome to the fold, as they say :)

@staskucherenko thanks mate. Joining the fold for the new adventure with my brompton.

Fully with you! Rolling bike around when folded / semi-folded helps a lot! Plus just carrying the bike while unfolded with saddle or just holding the central tube is reasonably comfortable. I was looking for some options to carry it on the back, like a backpack, but didn’t find any suitable solution so far.

Алексей, привет. Думаю миль 25-30 в час, на маршруте было много достаточно крутых поворотов и не было длинных прямых сегментов , так что вряд ли много людей разгонялись сильно быстрее.

No worries, great to meet you as well! Thanks a lot for your kind words and for sharing the video with your friends and family :)

Thanks a lot for your kind words :) It was a great fun indeed, both the race itself and all the vibe and acitivities around it! Regarding the kilt - I was surprised how comfortable it is as a part of cycling kit, as it can be combined with regular cycling shorts seamlessly! It is indeed probably not the most aerodynamic piece, but given that I am overall as aero as a brick - I guess it didn't hurt all that much :)

@@staskucherenko Brilliant !!! :)

Thanks a lot! Likewise, great to meet you! Hope you see you during the BWC again next year :)

Likewise, great to meet you in person and thanks a lot for the interview :) Hope to see you again during forthcoming Brompton events ))

Thanks for your comment, Jamie :) To be honest, that was my biggest fear as well, literally just to grab a wrong bike in the heat of the moment or see my belowed P-line cruising away with smbd else :) Falgpole is a actually a very nice idea!

Thanks a lot for sharing, very happy that my videos were helpful :) Regarding the world of cycling - 100% with you, didn't really realise it exists until I started cycling myself few years ago and now it is probably one of my favourite things to do! Wish you all the best with your cycling adventures!

Indeed, it was a really fun experience, enjoyed it a lot! And regarding the freedom - this point also resonated so much with me, it's probably true for any bike, but specifically true for foldable bikes and Bromotons. Since you can bring the bike anywhere and explore - the world is your oyster :)

Thanks, same with me, liked the event a lot!

Thanks a lot :)

Thanks for your feedback :)

Looks like it was great fun!

@@sld678 indeed, I enjoyed the event quite a lot! Looking forward to the next BWC, hopefully maybe it will even happen the next year!

Thanks for your feedback, glad it was helpful :)

Wow, that’s quite a story, thanks for sharing :) One more perk of the bike to consider ))

Thanks for your feedback, 100% with you!

Love the point on rail 349 wheels :)))

Great points, thanks for sharing, Dave! Also pushed the bike via handlebars while folded, super stable and convenient indeed! Didn’t try to do puncture repair while folded, but also makes sense to me.

Hi Tiberius, good point, like it a lot, thanks for sharing!

Great, glad it was helpful :)

@@staskucherenko Hey Stas, didn't know you were at the BWC! Was there too! Got the pouch in the meantime, great accessory

Sounds super exciting, thanks for sharing! :)

Hi J B, thanks a lot for your feedback! The handle is made by London Craftwork brand, got it from Amazon - amzn.eu/d/0UwIL7K

Спасибо ))

Thanks, Ian, glad it was helpful!

Well, 2 bags for one person is indeed a bit of a stretch :)

Thanks for your feedback, Gustav, glad you linked it :)

Thanks for your feedback :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback, glad it was helpful :) All the best with your cycling adventures ))

Hi C Lee, thanks for your comment. That’s a fair one, the amount of vibration getting into rider’s hands on a Brompton is quite sizeable. There are ways to manage it though -titanium fork on P lines is helpful to dissipate vibration, plus upgraded grips (like Ergon GP3 I am using) can also help quite a bit.

Thanks a lot, Allan, glad you like the videos :) Great choice btw, I think the grips are probably the biggest quality-of-life improvement from all the items, and EZ clamp is a small thing, but makes the folding process significantly less annoying :) I would probably place saddle in the 3rd place, but depends on whether you’ve got Brompton saddle as a default (which I heard to be quite good), or the one from Fizik (which I got and didn’t like it at all).

Thank you very much for your feedback, Felix, glad you liked the videos :) All the best with your Brompton trip, sounds very exciting!

@@staskucherenko Back to Vietnam and Cambodia, touring. I've spent a lot of time there on bike. Then maybe to Eastern Europe - Bulgaria & Romania in Sept. A big lot of touring this year! The Brompton should be interesting!

@@GreenGibbon wow, that’s quite an itinerary you have for the tour, sounds super exciting :) please share your experience of cycling in those places if you would have some capacity, super curious how does it feel like :)

Very cool, thanks a lot for recommendation. Corky mirror looks great indeed, I particularly like the folding aspect, would be very handy with all the Brompton’s folding action

Thanks for your comment! Also recently got similar situation, got in a small accident flying off my bike. Got a front hook bent and inner tube dislocated a bit within the tyre, but both fixable, so nothing major. Brompton is quite a sturdy bike indeed!

Sure, thanks for your comment, glad it was helpful :)

Great news, thanks for sharing, Allan :) All the best with your new bike! And thanks for your feedback :) Indeed, my main use case for this bag was less to protect my bike from the world, but to protect things around the bike, especially after a rainy day or if some bike clean-up is long overdue :)
