Packing and Unpacking a Brompton in a B&W International Folding Bike Box

Excellent video! Good picture, clear sound and concise.

The Brompton is so ingenious in its design and function. It maybe too much to ask for a semi rigid case that somehow is carried by the bike. Like the trailer idea of Bike Friday, but not as large. When B&W International case is in the military duffle bag, it looks huge. But if you somehow attached it to the bike, or pulled it like a B.O.B. trailer, it would probably look quite proportional. Why not make the top and bottom shells clamp around the seatpost, strap it to the rack and top top and you have a self contained travel machine. I guess the drawback would be strong winds could blow you around a bit.

Glad you like the video! The seatpost isn't long enough for it, and I don't have a rear rack on this bike to strap it to. I'd love a good trailer, like the Burley Travoy, but the big idea here was to make it easy to fly, and not have too much stuff on me

Thank you 👍

What kind of sponsorship would you enjoy? Serious query mate. Cheers.

I've thought about getting into some product reviews, but the production of those kinds of videos is a different thing. Honestly, I really love bags. Probably have way too many around, but they're so damn useful...

Looks like the Brompton arrived all good. I am using an Outer Shell saddle bag on my Brompton. That one you have is unique, who makes it? Champagne is a nice little “big town”. Hope you enjoyed your visit. Cheers from Chicago’s western burbs.

This is a case from B&W

@@RidingBikesinSanDiego Thanks. I was asking about your saddle bag. Looks roomy.

@@kgilliagorilla2761 Oh! That’s from Vincita. Great bag for like $45

[@kgilliagorilla2761]

@@RidingBikesinSanDiego Thx they make good looking bag for sure. I will check it out.

[@philippniessen6408]

Thanks what is the backpack? Does not seem to be a standard size.

[@RidingBikesinSanDiego]

It’s a military laundry bag.

These are widely available on eBay and elsewhere. Some are much nicer than others depending on age and source. I bought a couple a few years ago and had to return one of them because it was so poorly made. They have backpack straps but I wouldn’t want to carry a load for very long. I use mine for canoe portaging lightly loaded.
