I thought reducing bike lanes was only happening in my country. I'm amazed countries like Canada are into this obtrusive approach.

Great to see you there! Safe Streets, Saves Lives, Save Our Bike Lanes!

I did not vote for Doug Ford to be mayor of Toronto. Since he wants to unreasonably insert his power over the citizens of Toronto, we must remove him as Premier of Ontario by voting for anyone but this a................

Well done for adding to the voices for this demonstration and on behalf of others similarly all around the world. Even though I'm in Ireland, this has been highlighted on lots of other channels too. There are so many great bicycling channels coming out of Canada. There must be something in the air over there. Mr. Ford definitely can be described as a social regressive.

So the plan is to ease gridlock by removing bike lanes to allow more cars to be stuck in gridlock?

Solidarity from Los Angeles.

Thanks for coming to Etobicoke.

It feels like the Ford malady is spreading. I wish I knew why (and how to counter) the North American mentality is so stubbornly clinging to bad ideas.

Ok I'm sorry but Bloor-in-Etobicoke is a whole different world than Bloor between Lansdowne-and-Sherbourne stations. Why is Ontario dictating Bloor downtown? That's Toronto's concern... gtfo outta here.

Thanks for this helpful video - I'm riding 100 miles in just over a week to pick up a Travoy trailer for a bargain £80 for my mum. Sorry what you and your fellow riders are going through in Toronto with Doug Ford, hope it all works out in the end.

Thank you Cyclist Zero for reminding people of reality!

what about Grand Falls?

1. Since the Quick Hitch doesn't require special tools like an Allen Key or even a screwdriver to remove, I'd detach it from my bike and take it with me to prevent theft. 2. If there's a problem with the tubes, I'd like some way to get replacements. If the company goes bankrupt for whatever reason, there's no customer service, so I'd like to know if it's possible to purchase generic tubes for those tires. 3. If the price point were in the $100-$200 range in Canadian, I'd buy it no problem along with the accessories. Its simple design allows for less materials to be used in its construction. Therefore, it shouldn't be as expensive as traditional bike trailers that uses more materials in their construction. 4. A major turnoff for bike trailers is that they're bulky and can't easily detach from a bike unless you have the tools. The travoy is the ideal shopping accessory design that people would think of when they think "bicycle shopping cart". I believe that the reason why traditional bike trailers are in the hundreds is because they're very unpopular, so they would have to have a high profit margin to compensate for poor sales even if the materials are cheap. The travoy is different because the nature of its design makes it near identical to a regular shopping cart that "just so happens" to attach to a bicycle. This would allow it to make way more sales even with a lower profit margin. In fact, if the manufacturer can lower the price and accept a lower profit margin, it WOULD generate more sales because THOUSANDS of people own bikes now compared to a few years ago and they would love to own this.

Make eye contact before moving in front of vehicles. If you're not sure, turn right on that street and circle back behind and around the vehicle avoiding the front.

Hey Agie! Are you still happy with this? Given the stem length - I cannot order the Redshift one and the thud buster/eesilk ones are love/hate with folk. This parallelogram suspension and longer Seatpost seems it will work for our new bikes - we trust your insight - let us know if you're still happy (AND, if you see it working well off-road)

Good video, thank you.

Thanks for posting this, it was really helpful and looks a great set up. Did you fit the standard Brompton rear rack? I hope you had a great tour.

Good reminder for new and old riders to lock the bike securely . Just noticing , you keep the bike really clean,as do I but in another month or so that will challenging with snow/salt...🚴

So spend 15 minutes locking it up? Probably just faster to walk at that rate..

You want them to spend tax payers money on a bike lane😂 least obvious liberal

That happens everyday for cars, ignoring stop signs isn't exclusive to cyclists. No ammount of "exclusivity" will prevent that in a productive way. Btw I am a cyclist and driver, we just need something called "situational awareness" to avoid those dangers.

That was scary! Definitely careless driving. Though, respectfully, I don’t think a protected bike lane is the solution here. Perhaps a raised intersection/crosswalk, or some curb bump outs to narrow the intersection and force drivers to slow down? I also feel like these ‘safety improvements’ could be a much easier sell than the always triggering to some suggestion of a ‘bike lane’….

That was a very poor merge on to the road and he should have seen you way before starting to move. Driver should do better and your reaction was proportional to what was happening (ie you breaking like that was totally a fair move). Having said that the driver did an emergency stop the second they did see you (doesn’t excuse they should have seen you before moving) and if you hadn’t stopped yourself it would not have been a close call. Be safe though, cycling infrastructure is always something worth fighting for

Im a cyclist and I drive. That happens to cars every day. As cyclist, I think we have to rids as if everybody else is an idiot..... just like the way I drive. Anyhow, this is a sucky example to promote your cause.

bro on god you didnt prevent anything,.... IF anything props to him for noticing an egoistic person as yourself that needs credit for something they DIDNT do.

That wasnt even close to being close

Sorry Lady but a protected cycling would not have prevented that.

I can’t tell you how many times this has happen to me on my motorcycle or scooter. 😵‍💫🥴

I use 2 U-Locks and thick chain to lock my bike. This is the smart way of locking any kind of bike! When you pay a lot of money for your bike, you have to take charge of you prized possession, we may get laughs and name calling, I don't care!

Ohhh!!! Ya, what the H-E- double hockey sticks!!! This happens more often than people realize. Thankfully you are safe!!!

He stopped the moment he saw you.

Seems like overkill but you gotta protect your investment

Perfect example, I hope Dougie Ford addresses this problem before he removes any bike lanes!

@WheelsonaBike These people really need to watch the videos made by strong towns and not just bikes about city infrastructure planning and even the redone streets and other structures done by countries whose streets and city layouts were similar to those that we have in North America, now. I'm tired of the asshat notions that we have to constantly make ourselves more protected. The whole point of civilization is to protect and care for those more vulnerable than ourselves. Last week or so in Vancouver a 72 yr old man on a small side street in the west end was hit while he was on his mobility scooter. The driver drove away and and as far as I know, has not yet been caught. The man died after a week while still in hospital. IT IS NOT the individual that needs to do more, it is the municipal responsibility to do more. Proof is in the European countries that have made and are continuing to make the changes.

Boo Hoo. If you want to be treated as a vehicle, you ought to expect the same problems that vehicles encounter, such as near misses, accidents, etc. If you decide that those risks are too high for you, I have news for you, You entered that road voluntarily. You use these roads with full acknowledgement that you have minimal protection, an inferior speed capability, and little to no light or signalling ability which would help ensure that you are noticed on the road.

Ya gotta get lights to help them see you..bloor west is bloor wild west......I'm a cyclist btw....be safe.

Lights are great but black - no thanks .. We need all the help we can get - yellow , orange etc options would be great thanks .

This was nine months ago. This system has worked since, and you still have your E-bike? Hope so, curious

Well, for my new e-bike I have a 2 metre heavy bike chain with 2 mini D locks so it can be locked in an 8 where practical instead of just in a big 0. That's just under 7 kg. I used it for two years with my ordinary bike before this whenever I felt I needed extra security but it's my standard basic lock now for the more valuable e-bike. It's rated Diamond for a bicycle or gold for a motorbike. I think e-bikes over €3k are rated similarly to motorbikes for insurance? I keep it wrapped around the seat post so it's always out of the way. It's advantages are that the 2 metre length allows me to lock the bike to light poles, lengths of iron railings, trees and many different things that are too difficult to cut through and an ordinary lock wouldn't be able to work with. I also use a gold rated large D Lock as well which is another 2 kg as my additional security lock. I also have a very small lock that goes onto the disc brake which would be a minor deterrent on its own but adds to the entire security overall. Most tubular bike racks are unfortunately much easier to cut through than a gold rated D Lock so I prefer to find something too difficult to cut through. And make a potential thief have to make 2-3 full cuts through my security measures before they can walk away with the bike. That rack Agneiska locked her bike to looked pretty damned solid and a hard chaw for any angle grinder and unlike the single length of the tubular steel types, would force several cuts if multiple locks were used.

😮👍🏻!!!💯💫

I have a 58sm 2023 Sutra SE and love everything about it, except the front geometry is way too twitchy for a touring bike. In fact, it's twitchier than my criterium bike which means I'm constantly paying attention to its line. Not something you want to do for hours on end especially on roads with little to no shoulder. I may be selling it because of this.....sad.

Really like your touring videos! Locking beautiful, worth owning bike worthwhile!

That’s unfortunate you have to go thru that bs to keep your bike safe, sad what Canada has come to with theft.

Love your setting❤. Never heard of click stand😍 May I know what is the size for the Brompton and how much total did you pay for?

What a world---full of vultures waiting to pounce on it instead of working for it

Nice video. I took my Brompton on the same trail 2 years ago and, immediately afterward, swapped out my Brooks Cambium saddle for a Brooks leather saddle and changed out the front chainring for better hill climbing ability. Nice to see you confirm those choices!

I'm not a winter rider, but I defend the rights for people to be able to commute safely on their bikes and EVs all season long and we do need more safe dedicated bike lanes. Stay safe! Unfortunaltey Doug Ford has decided to rip up to new bike lanes in Toronto for more cars.

Thanks for sharing some unknown equipment. For little trips i only put a stabil bag on the handlebar. More tips for equipment you may get on Ollo TV a local nearby with hardcore Brompton trips in europe.

I'd be more worried about the tag on the table

Hey I ride moped at speed of 25 km / Hr , can you recommend a brand or site from where I can but my ( men ) clothings for weather like -10 or -15 . I am from Sweden .
