    I purchased my Brompton S1L in 2011 and I've ridden about 15000 km ever since. A great bicycle! The longest day trip I've done on it was 207 km.

    I almost passed this video bye but decided to watch it anyway. I'm very glad that I did. I'm now convinced that I'm going to buy a Brompton because of your video. Thanks.

    THX for this Video! A guy from the US uses a Brommie to go shopping! Unbelievable! You are Special, Sir! I use my Brompton to commute to work, take it with me on my plane, car or whatever. They are a special piece of kit and I love to ride it. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.

    The Brompton is just such a fine ride. I'm still enjoying my S6LD for my commute everyday. It's just under 10 miles each way. And as I live in Germany, there was no way to go without fenders with all the rain. :) And regarding the level of detail, I cannot recommend enough to get the Brompton toolkit. So well designed and contains everything you need to fix your bike on the go.

    Awesome setup. Simple and elegant. Black and brown combinations looks great. Beautiful brooks leather.

    Hi, I liked this vid, I just got a Brompton today so Im in the club! Expensive OMG but super fun. The ease of using this bike vs my very heavy and cumbersome cruiser. It's just come into my house to the kitchen and I have a 5 level split. I'm older and have carpel tunnel, and it was still no problem, so the lightness and the ease of getting through doors, small spaces, if you have to lift it, all that, can't be beat. It looks pretty cool too, as I have it bc I saw someone whiz by and they looked so carefree and unburdened and I knew the that I had to simplify my life and stop pushing so much weight around. Just ordered new handgrips and a Brooke seat. It'll be super customized when I'm done. No two are alike. So happy with this and can't wait to take it places I wouldn't have contemplated with my other bikes. It's a whole new world!

    Thank you so much for the video! I've watched so many other videos of this bike and yours is the first one where I could easily understand the folding and unfolding process. 😊

    Fantastic Video. Finally someone that shows the Brompton details others leave out! Someday I’ll own one!

    Single speed ! dude that is hardcore. I thought I was brave going for a 3 speed. Fantastic bike whatever you choose.

    Great video and explanation ... this is my favorite setup when I get my Brompton in the future ... all the accessories especially the Brooks seat are perfect for daily commuting 👍

    I am surprised he thinks the gears antiquated. I have the six speed model. I think it's great. Twin matched changers integrated with their respective brake levers control 2 speed derallier and 3 speed wide ratio hub.

    Great looking bike!The world tries to sell you 15 "speeds" but a little actual use will convince you for local commuting one gear is fine for all but the hilliest terrain

    If i can like this video 10x, i will. Great accessories and detailed description.

    Good detailed overview, slick like a swiss army knife. My old trek has more sprockets/gears than I know what to do with. The best part is my 1970 Brooks saddle.
