How to Choose A Brompton Bag - Overview

[@jazzfan7491]

I have that large bag with the open top. It is super versatile. Use it for Trader Joe’s runs 3 times a week. If stuff from TJ’s is coming out of the top I just put a bungee cord over it. Simple.

I wish they made a conversion adapter clip so electric Brompton bikers could use these bags too. So far, there are only two bags available for the Electric Brompton. I ride without my battery sometimes too.

[@CurbsideCycle]

Agreed, this is a pretty annoying thing. Hoping they will figure something out as tech advances.

When I got my Brompton in 2021, the staff at the shop all had the large borough roll top bag. After 3 years with it, I completely understand why.

I have the big borough bag. It lets me carry my laptop, electronics bag, lunch, a sweater, and a foldable backpack. The backpack is for shopping after work.

Thank you. I saved your video for when I purchase one of these bags. I like the largest one that folds over the best, because it's more versatile from a smaller size to huge👍

[@jenniewilliams1668]

Really helpful! I really appreciate your overview!!!!

[@bethchaplin2023]

Great video - thanks! I bought the medium size Borough bag. I like the overall look and the way the foldover make it more water-resistant, but realized that the high sides and dark interior make it hard to see my things. I'm trying to figure out how to line it with something brighter that will also add more organization.

Well, as a photo/videographer, you could find a insert! The dividers are adjustable too! Here is an example: www.amazon.ca/Yimidear-Shockproof-Foldable-Partition-Protective/dp/B00KKIYPZ8/ref=asc_df_B00KKIYPZ8/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=335107054059&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14038514735983034882&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000967&hvtargid=pla-422558832705&psc=1

I have a metro backpack and I love it. However as you pointed out, one can keep the bag on the brompton when folded, So I‘d love to see a backpack for the rack with a clever mounting options for longer ride.

Thank you! Needed this information!

[@JohnDoe-yv8yn]

Just the video i was looking for thanks!

Interesting. I think an equally pertinent question would be why do I not need this bag. I imagine the short answer for most people would be, because I already own a bag. I have one of those whacky ones with straps that you put over your shoulders 😂

[@ImagineWhy]

One thing to consider is price lol. But yes I love this store

[@CurbsideCycle]

We won't sugar coat it. Our prices are high due to the manufacturers prices. :( But we make damned sure we only sell the best.

Hello! How heavy is the game bag? It says 4.4lbs online but that seems a little bit high.

[@wheniroam8333]

Can all bags be used on all handlebar types?

[@bollof1]

Why didnt I get these isntructions with my bike/bag (Beat Grylls)?

[@Maxboyrm85]

Which backpack / messenger style front bag would fit a full size keyboard? (With a 13” laptop and chargers)

[@CurbsideCycle]

Hi there! Just about any of the bags aside from the smalls and tote will bit your laptop and full size keyboard. Personally, I would just the Metro Messenger large for that extra space.

[@HolgerNestmann]

The numpad apple keyboard just barely fits the metro backpack. I would go with a higher bag, so it has more wiggle room

[@richmck007]

Ridiculous prices! A bag is a bag. More money than sense is what comes to my mind when i see people posing with their Brompton bag when there are bags which will exactly the same job at a fraction of the price. Keep marketing!

[@CurbsideCycle]

Bag is never just a bag. R&D goes into it, pride in crafting it and high quality materials are selected. Also we do not set the prices, Brompton does.

[@jazzfan7491]

Super high quality though, and fits perfectly on the bike. That’s where there’s more sense than money 😉

[@richmck007]

@@CurbsideCycle Yeah right! Good luck with yours! I’ll stick to investing in my Brompton! Both of them. Believe me , I worked in your sector I hear what you are saying but…

[@richmck007]

@@jazzfan7491 For me it is not about the lack of moment but the fact they can sell it for less… Supply and demand is all.

Low visibility bags are dangerous.
