Brompton Folding Bicycle For Bike Touring, WILL IT MAKE IT? | Bike Touring Japan #6 🇯🇵

My friend has been bike-packing Japan on a Brompton folding bike, and we’re not just taking flat roads either, the first day we climbed 1000 meters in elevation, going up some extremely steep hills. In this video, he’ll tell you what he thinks about bike packing with his Brompton folding bike. Also, I’m in Takaoka city, known for its black curry and ramen, so of course, I had to try it. At the end of the video, I get some really good news, so stay tuned for that! And if you haven’t already, please check out the previous episodes of the Bike Tour Across Japan series, and like subscribe, and comment as it helps spread the video to newer audiences. Arigato!

It was great having Nick T join me for the first week of the bike tour. We had some good times together! Maybe he can join up a little later on down the road for another round! Today we had some beautiful weather for this journey from Toyama to Takaoka. Didn't make it too far in this one. Nick T had to catch the train and I needed to get some work done! So I spent around 6 hours in the cafe trying to get episode 1 out finally! If you haven't seen it check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6WolpWtpqlsfJY What do you think of the bike tour so far? Lemme know! 🍙🍙🍙⤵ Buy Me An Onigiri: buymeacoffee.com/nick_k www.paypal.com/paypalme/NickKTravel

It’s really nice to see Japan with your bike tour. Would it be hard for you to put a map where you’re going?

Japanese rice balls are truly the most convenient snack! That Dorayaki is also a world-famous snack, and it was Doraemon who made it famous! Nick T’s folding bicycle is really cool. He can carry it for running, which is really convenient! The scene when you followed him into the station move me so much. It is obvious that you have a good relationship with him! I completely agree with what you said. Japan is really an extremely quiet country, which sometimes makes people very creepy. In comparison, sometimes lively countries are more interesting! Thank you very much for sharing such a touching episode, I’m very looking forward to the next one! 👍😍🙏

I'm impressed you're speaking Japanese very well! I wish if I could speak English like you're speaking Japanese.

[@robihamdani5385]

Thank you nick for your videos!

[@NickKTravel]

What do you think? Can you bike tour or bike pack with a folding bike long term?

[@MariusMustermann-rk2lb]

I startet 15 years ago on a regular touring bike and covered 50.000 km around the world. Sinne 4 years im travelling only on my bike friday (15.000 km and counting) I consider These bikes as highly capable of touring. We are just getting ready for our one year long bike tour tour through Japan, Korea, Vietnam,Philippines ….. Could you share with us your route for Japan? Thanks and enjoy your trip ;)

This is great, I fly to Osaka tomorrow, checking out Kobe brompton store and will pop over to Tokyo for life bicycle - the plan, grab the p line 12 speed and attempt to go along cape sata up to cape soya, or as best I can along the prefecture roads. Have no clue if I'll make it, but that will be half the fun.

First-time visitor - liked and subscribed. About your comment that you can't take full-sized bikes on trains. Is that an across-the-board rule, or are there any exceptions? If not, that seems so limiting for bike tourists when they want to travel to other parts of the country by rail, with their bikes.

[@firthy2585]

You need to put some family mart fried chicken 🍗 between those pancakes 😋

[@rinirini3357]

💪💪💪💪STERK NICK?, 💪💪💪💪💪💪STAYHEALTLY AND HAPPY WHERE YOU ARE??💪💪 AND BECAREFULLY 💪

[@metalextras]

HI nick how about visiting foreign worker's canteen or resto shop like your oldie vids, surely their people back home will watch as well...

[@generalgopnik1026]

Hi, is it okay just to camp there for the night or do you need a permission?

[@raymondlianto9882]

The black soup noodles looks tasty but not hot and spicy (pedas) because no sambal 😂😂😂.

[@NickKTravel]

not spicy at all!

[@amaliahightower]

Nick you love rice and pancakes 😂 Do you like the cold weather or tropical weather?

[@NickKTravel]

well, I like cold weather when I have a house and proper clothes for it. But for a bike touring I'm thinking tropical weather is better!

[@jay.rhoden]

I cant help but wonder what plugin was missing for those 3 seconds? :)

[@NickKTravel]

damn, are you serious? what part?

[@NickKTravel]

ahhh i see it! mannnn it was just a hoverair drone shot of the campsite from Haruna lake. The problem is I went back at the last moment and changed a couple things, and I have a few things on my desktop but sometimes my computer will put those files in the cloud when you're not using them... I usually catch it and redownload them but I guess I missed this one 😩

[@jay.rhoden]

@@NickKTravel Not a big deal, but as someone who edit's videos it would bug me. But yea, not a big deal :) People are watching for the content itself :)

[@NickKTravel]

@@jay.rhoden yeah it's super frustrating lol

[@awingsarkawing6391]

What the different between japanese nasi and indonesian nasi?

[@NickKTravel]

japanese rice is really soft and sticky

[@Mateozz19]

Rawon japanese version haha.

[@NickKTravel]

lol yes!

[@jetadikoesoemo805]

You mention that you have a good news. What is that good news thing?

[@NickKTravel]

The good news was that I found a festival that I could go to the next day lol

[@doraae7074]

Saya sennag kamu ada teman bersepda Sir

[@Iyanrach]

Brompton is good, I ride it too, but he need to manage the bike rack or bracket for the stuff, it sold separately from another brand which is suit for Brompton.

[@NickKTravel]

yeah he could probably work on his set up a little better. it started to squeak a lot towards the end of the trip, probably not a good sign!
