Over-the-road trucking with a Brompton. Outstanding.

That was the first idea i had too. I wonder if it could be made safer with a telescopic pole

this was genious. This is proof that all city living situations can be solved by bike.

I'd have crumpled and rented a car but this is amazing that he was able to do this. Other than the rug, everything looked perfect.

This video is what convinced me to buy my Burley Travoy!!! I LOVE it!!! I haven’t owned a car in years, and I didn’t want to buy one, but I needed to haul things more, that just weren’t cutting it, on my bike rack, or panniers. After buying the Travoy, no need for a car! Thank God, especially since they are insanely priced! A used car is going for brand new prices now!

[@EverydayCycling]

Used cars are crazy expensive right now. 20 to 30% more than they used to. I'm happy you're enjoying the trailer!

“This is the definition of a bad idea.”, he says, then tries it anyway. What an adventure, at least to watch! With this guy, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Fantastic.

[@thauaneszimanski5734]

Bought my folding bike today! Literally less than 24 hrs ago. Feel like I hit the jackpot with your channel! Specially the grocery shopping videos. Cause that’s exactly what I want it for apart from getting to work of course. Thank you!

[@adm58]

I've done this with a Brompton and Travoy here in Manchester, UK, too. It's fine when it's very local and there's nothing to big, such a furniture etc. As my move was only 15 minutes walk away, I actually mainly used the Travoy as a hand trailer, which it works well as. The hardest part was getting everything upstairs to my first floor flat flat (second floor in the US).

[@cring0101]

It is just so much fun watching this video. What a clever "running rug" XD. Nice job. Congratulation on your graduation !!!

[@EverydayCycling]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@platypushatstand]

Lego for adults. Like that. Subbed. Fellow Brompton owner with H6R (converted to H6L). That move is probably easier in the US due to your grid system and network of wide roads, here in the UK we have corners, roundabouts, narrow roads and drivers who like to ‘fight’ for their road space by intimidating others and close-passing cyclists.

[@rzin2007]

man, I have been eyeing Burley Travoy for several months now. I think your video convinced me that i need it :)

[@EverydayCycling]

Hey guys, just realized the audio is a bit low, so you may need to boost the volume a little bit. Other than that, I hope you enjoy the video!

[@Stalkerusb]

No a problem on my side!!! Kudos for the whole moving and enjoyable video

[@andreabruehs1280]

Great!!!! I really love this video. Specially the „flying“ -carpet.

[@fc81zoom17]

Kudos to the level of civilization and awareness shown in your video! Will be trailing my Airvolution2 inflatable kayak 30 miles up the river with a Burley Travoy trailer and a Birdy folding bike; then ride the river back into the city with the bike and trailer on board the Kayak. Can't wait for my adventure to unfold. Salivating as I write this. Thanks for sharing man!!!

[@forceninewinds]

For a 'bad idea' the rug solution worked really well!

[@swashfrogsailor]

I knew you could do it. Transporting that rug would have been difficult without the cardboard tube as a spar. This is much the same as transporting telephone poles. I’ll be getting a Burley Travoy for my Brompton, to run errands and reprovision my sailboat. You’re a hella good brand ambassador: positive, personable, and thoughtful. Subscribed.

[@EverydayCycling]

You're absolutely right! The spar made all the difference. And the Burley is a pretty good product. I've had minor issues with it, but still... can't live without it.

[@TCBumby]

Amazing! The last part with the rug made me smile so much.

[@tantsits77]

Awesome video. Great job moving all that stuff. Love the Travoy and I want one really bad.

[@EverydayCycling]

Thanks 👍. It's a great tool!

Hadn't really considered my (awesome) Brompton as a trailer-hauling utility bike, but this vid definitely gives some food for thought. Enjoy your new place!

[@EverydayCycling]

Glad you liked it! I'm excited about the new apartment!

[@whazzat8015]

Brompton factory manual says don't. But you would have to be able to read to see that in the manual.

[@trishshanti735]

Well done Thankyou, lm thinking of moving 75percent belongings to my new house using my Brompton. Good luck in your new home. Hope it’s a happy one. Yours sincerly a Brompton bike owner. Before lockdown, travelled by train, bus, regularly taking Brompton to cycle visiting elderly relatives, who don’t have regular public transport near their homes. So often travelled 8-16 mile journeys, with my overnight camping gear, on front bag and rear carrier. Not electric, so did push it up a lot of steep hills (has 3 gears). Being a senior citizen found walking up hills easier...also chance to enjoy country views...but going down hills was great and l always reached my destinations safely. ☺️

[@mmisbah]

Waow Well done for taking the challenge 👏 The very last clip is gold - 😆 lol

[@Hotspur62]

I didn't know a Travoy existed! Perfect for moving stuff with my black Brompton. Thanks!

[@effyleven]

That was really interesting. Thank you for showing us how you did it. The piano and rug shifting was quite impressive!

[@EverydayCycling]

[@EveryTongue]

Excellent video, you definitely proved that this is a great trailer

[@williammokrynski1305]

That was very entertaining. Burley should definitely be sponsoring you, as your videos were the first to introduce the Travoy to me, and I’ve now been convinced that I have to have one for my own Brompton. Keep the great videos coming.

I can't live without it in the city, though I've been having a few issues with it. Nothing major that compromises its functionalities, but I'll cover them in a future review. Their customer service is pretty awesome though, so they sent me an entire replacement for a simple issue I had with the previous trailer.

Makes a solid case for living simply and not acquiring a bunch of toys, furniture, decor, boats, cars and clothes. Took me fifty years of living in Northeast Cobb County there in metro ATL to realize that lol! Now I live in a one room apt in the Western Colorado desert plateau. I’ve never been happier! Simple life is the answer for way less stress and more peace. If you can swing it, do it.

[@giurgindemilan]

Awesome :-) the human art of making do with what's at hand. While I own several vehicles (minivan, s.wagon, m.bikes, moped etc) I do wish to avoid using them for groceries or small movements since I was lucky enough to grab a Brompton cheap. B.Travoy trailer is a superb addition, here greatly put to use. Thanks for sharing!

[@simonAeby]

Hi there, again, great video. You inspired me so much that I bought a used Brompton my self. I am currently travelling in my expedition vehicle in Scandinavia and a great foldable bike is just the perfect tool to explore the areas I am visiting. Just a small comment on the moving of your carpet: maybe you could have folded it in half and rolled it up then, so a 2.5 meter carpet would have been only 1.25m long :-)) Looking very much forward to your next videos. Thanks!

Your video made me think of that I really need a simple life.

I came across this video. I moved a street up from the house maybe a street like 10 minute walk but moving more me and my wife bought a house on the way to our old house. We moved most of our small things by bike with a bike trailer hooked up. We did that and my wife is small so she got a free ride back down to move more small things. But the bikes and dj equipment with furniture needed a u haul.

[@micahroberts8383]

I wonder if you had folded the rug in half (so that it would be 4 ft) and then folded it if that would have worked. I mean, it wouldn't have rolled like you have it, but it could have folded to some extent. It seems like you had more room for extra width with those larger boxes from previous loads. So, I'm thinking some configuration of folding vs rolling may have been an option, but I'm not sure how well it would have worked, based on not being able to actually see it in person. Still, though, you got it done! Impressive indeed!!

[@johnnymac8680]

Great problem solving skills on display. Some people would throw their hands up in horror at the thought of moving that rug. I probably would have folded it into the smallest rectangle I could before figuring out how to get wheels under it.
