[@willyco2920]

Absolutely right, when looking at your back either left or right. i almost fell one time when i turn my head and just holding it with just one hand (right). i never did this again and i just hold it tight and steady first with two hands before looking behind. Nice tip ! 😀👍

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Willy Co Yes, I've seen it happend several times, especially with road bikes that ride so close to each other. I'm glad you like it! Nice to have you on board!

[@handsonbrompton7875]

❤love your quick tips 🍻

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Hands on Brompton Nice to hear from you. This month I'll be making only quick tips and Shorts. To hot for a nice long ride. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

[@FalkinerTim]

Very good advice. Particularly for the Brompton which is twitchy.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Tim Falkiner I'm glad you like it! Nice to have you on board!

As an old man of 75, with a bad balance from an early, serious accident in my twenties, I hardly look back unless I have stopped, with my feet on the ground. I have a mirror to put on my handlebar for this purpose, which I will put on my bike, "when I get the time", as also changing parts to even lighter ones. I can't quite hit the 7,45 kilo + the weight of a set of mudguards, but I may come really close, also with my set mudguards! But I have lately got a new "Garmin Explore" to navigate my bike by, as I haven't wasted money on a Smartphone, and its much higher expenses. I have a mobile, which I hardly use, and pays a nominal fee to have. Finn. Denmark

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen A mirror is a great option. But been a road biker I've hot used to not have them and need to check back if there is a car or a Ciclist coming up. Nice to have you on board!

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

@@ChrisbyBike I have seen a small mirror to be put in the end of a racing bike handlebar, to give a view of what's coming from behind!! And we have also just had a serious accident, where a car opened a door in front of a bike, so the rider got hit by it!!!

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen It is a terrible accident. I was 15 coming back from school when a taxi open the door and throw me splashing to the ground. It hurts a lot. Keep Safe! Keep Riding!

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

@@ChrisbyBike Actually in Denmark we have just had an accident where a car opened a door in front of a bike. The rider got seriously hurt!

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen It is very dangerous. Have to be aware all the time.

[@sheilastallard]

We look and use our mirrors. Stay Safe!!!

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Sheila Stallard Mirrors are a great option, but as a road biker I have a habit of not using mirrors on my bike. Road bikers are funny people, we try to take all the weight possible from our bikes. No need for Brompton Bikes 👍🏻😊🌷

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

@@ChrisbyBike Well for now, my "Superlight" is down to 9,35 kilo, and still falling, when I get the time. I have owned expensive racing bikes weighing more than that (But also a 6,8 kilo one!) ;-). Finn

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen The lighter the better.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Hi NoZenith I'm on Summer vacation, but start to miss you guys. So I've decided to make short videos and quick tips. This way, does not take to much time, and I'll be in touch with you guys 👍🏻😊

@@ChrisbyBike It's mid winter here... single digit °F 🥶

[@ChrisbyBike]

Here is to hot. The sand is burning our feet 😱 Not so conffortable to ride our Brompton either. Single digit is freezing 🥶

[@NoZenith]

@ChrisbyBike actually it was 31° BELOW freezing last night 😆 cause imperial units are fun!

Hi NoZenith 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@leandrobueno9243]

Olá Chris. Suas dicas são sempre muito interessantes e úteis para todos que se interessam por bicicletas e principalmente para usuários de Brompton, como eu e minha esposa. Sabe me dizer se existe algum grupo de Brompton no Rio de Janeiro que organize encontros para troca de experiências ou passeios? Desde que comprei a minha em setembro ainda não descobri um grupo aqui no Rio. Muito obrigado.

[@ChrisbyBike]

Oi Leandro Bueno Que bom que você gostou. Tento sempre compartilhar as coisas que aprendo. Seja bem vindo ao mundo das Bromptons. Aqui no Rio somos poucos. Tem um grupo de watts up das Bromptons do Brasil, que é bem interessante e tem uma ótima troca de ideias. Se quiser participar, depois me envia um e-mail para [e-mail] com o seu tel e da sua esposa que peço para adicionarem vocês no grupo. Nice to have you on board!
