Must be nice to have a film crew to look after your unsecured bike while you do your shopping. Since I have no such entourage, I guess I'm stuck using a lock. I'm so jealous. Also, I really love the two position wheels on that trailer. That's a very nice feature.
I built a trailer for my Brompton. The main large wheels are in the centre (like yours are when you trail) and there are small inline skate wheels at the back. I no longer use it, as I have a different solution now, but it worked like yours and it was fine, except I didn't need to swap wheel positions.
Here in the New Orleans French Quarter (as well as in many other city centers), I could not imagine leaving a Brompton unattended. I'd bag the bike, place it in the shopping cart and go inside pulling the trailer - but only if buying lots of groceries (the Brompton has a luggage block bolted to the head tube and rides better with luggage there).
This the second trailer for a bike i have seen and also the same connection with the bike.A connection that is to flimsy to last long in daily practice.Why not the connection with the frame off the bike??
I bought the Cyclone trailer mostly for shopping but found it is unfit for that purpose. The first reason is that the zip opens from the rear so the only way to prevent groceries from falling is to open it on the side. That is OK for a few items like but very impractical once the bag gets full (and then, why would you use a trailer to carry a pack of biscuits and a cucumber as shown on the video? Second reason is that the trailer cannot stand on its own so you have to constantly hold it with one hand, which is also impractical in supermarkets. I still use the trailer to carry bulky items that don't fit into my panniers or bring stuff to the recycling center and for that, it is very useful.
On a recent vacation I didn't rent a car. I did all my shopping on my Brompton. But I put it in shopping cart mode and used my T-Bag, which I also used as carry on luggage for my flights. That trailer is wasted just picking up a couple of items. Maybe for camping or something.
1. We live in a place where people actually say hello and leave your Brompton alone. 2. If some dare devil would steal our Brompton he would be chased by an angry mob of Nijveners, a grocery store manager, four good looking grocery store cashiers and a handful of Radicals. 3. Everyone around here knows we are bad ass criminals ourselves since we steal cucumbers every day for lunch.
I was thinking "What?!" then I realised you're in Netherlands - I felt safe wandering around at night, even with youth still on the street :) Still, that's incredible! XD I love the versatility of the Brompton as well! :)
Depends what you put in it. A 60 litre ruckack with 4 season sleeping bag, tent, mat , stove etc is almost full , but only wieghs about 20lbs. You dont even notice it as you cycle. On the contrary, put 20lbs in a topbag on a light road bike and it feels like a lead weight.
I found the 62mm skate wheels quite adequate for trailing indoors, as the floor quality is always OK. The little wheels at the back also mean the back of the trailer doesn't bash on speed humps either. If you want to see a pic, contact me via the messages; I can't post URLs in these comments, it won't let me. Looks cool, btw.
I think Radical Design Trailers are the most innovative on the market however I am curious about the 2 position wheels on this model. If in walking mode the trailer doesn't bottom out, is it really necessary to move the wheels to the center when towing? It would seem to me only necessary if needing to balance the weight when carrying something heavy. In that case couldn't you split the mounting position between the walking & towing mode & still have reasonable results?
The bike lock, OK, but that would be security, not safety. The helmet though... what's that for? Only handicapped people, kids with overprotective parents and racing/MTB cyclists wear helmets here. Plus... the best they do is protect you from a fall while standing still. Do you want pedestrians wearing helmets?
jcvjcvjcvjcv thanks for pointing out such a *funny* typo, will correct it. I believe kids at least should wear a helmet when learning (a variety of disorders come from hitting the head). In general it isn't going to save you if riding downhill at 90km/h but might reduce the energy reaching the skull. This said if a scooter/moped/roller that reaches 45 requires a helmet, I don't see what makes it different from a bike that easily reaches that speed too. Then law can be obeyed or not, but some sense is there sometimes... To me is even weirder that a mirror and light + direction indicators isn't fit standard: coming from cars and motorcycles, that's the first thing I miss riding a bike.
The ones with blue license plate ride 45 all the time without helmet. The helmet also increases your size, making you more likely to hit something in the first place.
Some places ask that all people leave their bags but many don't. You're actually allowed to put anything inside a bag. Shoplifting as defined under law is leaving the store with unpaid items.
Hi Jonny, yes, the Chubby is specifically desgned for folding bikes like the Brompton. In this video you see the Trekking bag, the brompton doesnt fit in the Trekking, only in the Chubby.
Bon convept, mais que faites vous du Brompton quand vous rentrez dans un supermarché par exemple ? Dans la plupart des villes, en 2 minutes, plus de vélo.
Oh yeah, and the Brompton's still there when he gets back, lol! Also it was painful watching you bend over when assembling the trailer at the start. You'll wreck your back doing this a lifetime! Nice trailer design, though.
Max load in kg? Any chance of using a 3wheel system for stairs climbing in the back? And interesting idea the rollerblade wheels at the back. Any nice way of having the bike connected to the trailer while shopping? I wouldn't leave any bike outside a supermarket unchained even in Zurich, Switzerland (where do you live?) First thing as soon as I bought the bike was to ziptie an acoustic movement alarm to the frame to prevent unnoticed theft...
Bonjour, est il possible de mettre le brompton et les roues de la remorque dans le sac de la remorque ? Ceci afin d'en faire un bagage avion ? Merci pour votre vidéo
What a quaint video this is... Sweet little supermarket! Still seen in some places. Paid with real money! I have not done rhat for 35 years. Cigarettes still on open display. Not happened here since 2012. Bike remains untouched outside, not stolen. Not happened here for 30 years. PS. Towing with a Brompton not recommended. See handbook.
Agreed on all counts Zeus, I live ~20min N of you. I shake my head looking at the cheap cable locks people use on their bikes. Must be nice to leave it completely unattended and not have to worry. That being said, nice trailer but how well does it work going up 2 flights of 4" stairs? Is it durable enough to survive weekly shocks up the stairs w/ 20lbs of stuff in it or would I have to empty it out and carry it separately?
Por la mayoría de los paises esto de abandonar la Brompton en la entrada del Market, aunque fuere por unos minutos, garantiza casi que cuando salgas ya no la encuentres.
Enjoyed the video! But sadly like others have commented here. That bike would have been GONE, within a minute of being unattended here in Miami. Looks like a nice community where this was shot. At least we have pretty girls and warm weather here!
I have a trailer on my brompton that tows my daughter, however it leans forward too close to the ground...sometimes scraping on uneven paths ..any ideas to rectify this? how many inches are your trailer wheels? (although mine looks the same in proportion to the bike) but that might solve it.
As soon as one package got put into that red bag here south of Boston not only the manager would come running out but the cops would have already been called too~! I think this is in Denmark.
I love your product and see a lot of possibilities, especially for travel. But use this huge trailer to buy milk and 2 bananas it's a little bit of an overkill if you ask me
Moises Lima For grocery shopping, the Travoy is a nice alternative, but as it connects to the seat post, it's not a good solution for folding bikes. www.burley.com/commute-c109 For a more compact trailer that hooks to the rear wheel like the Chubby, from CarryFreedom, there's the CityTrailer or the Y Small: www.carryfreedom.com/
+Moises Lima +Littlebigfred Yes CarryFreedom has some great trailers as well. I would not focus to much on the size though. I rather have some extra and when I do groceries with my kids on the bike we pack the Cyclone to it's neck. Stored in the garage it hangs flat on the wall ready to go on a vacation ride, with me to work or that grocery trip. Most important is you buy our trailer for many, many years of riding. When you damage it, we can fix it. When you brake a buckle we have spares and when your zipper brakes we can put in a new one... No mater what age your trailer is and whether you bought it from us or second hand.
Wow... You can actually leave your bike without chaining it up, and come back to find it, where and as you left it :-) Over here, you also have to remove all the QR fasteners and replace them with fasteners that require a wrench. Otherwise, you may return to a situation where the frame remains safely chained up, but without wheels and/or a saddle, etc.
Bijzonder, ik hoef in mijn supermarkt niet te proberen de boodschappen voor afrekenen in iets anders dan karretje of mandje te stoppen. Dat gegeven heeft me beziggehouden tijdens het filmpje. het product is dus niet bijgebleven. en aan de comments te lezen hebben meer mensen hier last van.
Dear Shelby, you are supposed to live in a safe country, where you are fighting for freedom lol! As a Canadian, it makes me laugh every time I go in the US, crime is everywhere, people are always in alert and suspicious of others. So I am not surprised sadly about your superficial comment. A normal human being living in a normal country would have commented the bike trailer as being ingenious and practical, as an american you saw an opportunity of a potential crime, this is simply pathetetic. No wonder you have such a president, that sprinkles shit upon countries only to get more.
@@jeanpierrelanglois In Singapore,where it is suppose to be safe, we will also saw it as an opportunity of a potential crime. No matter how safe the country is, there is bound to have things stolen. I see videos where people try to steal bikes from a moving car, in a European country.
Might be good for short trips between office and work to bring in tools etc. But going shopping like that is a bit weird, sorry. Love the bike and trailer looks nice but its a bit like going into a store with full bike or motorcycle gear. It's just awkward and weird.
@Ads There are people now traveling across the globe with their Brompton and Bicycle Trailer Chubby. Personally I really like doing groceries with the trailer and my children. I always feel a bit ashamed taking the car for those short trips. Peter, Radical Design
you sure do a lot of bending and assembling just to go get groceries or what ever. My back hurt just looking at you doing all that. Sorry i don't think that trailer is worth buying but the bike is cute.
Here you are supposed to bring your own bags and backpack when you shop. You don't get free plastic bags. A lot of stores don't even have those baggies for sale anymore. So it is very normal to transport the stuff you want to buy in your own bag. I always show my backpack to prove there is nothing more in my backpack but some people only show it when they are asked. I think we assume most people are no thieves and it would become a paranoid thing if everyone is treated like one.
It's a very inefficient design. Do you realise how many times you switch the position of the wheels and bend down to ground for this simple journey? it s a faulty design.
The Bicycle Trailer Cyclone is primarily developed to be the most durable but still compact and lightweight way to have a bike trailer that can actually hold your Brompton inside. That is it's prime goal and we design all our products without any "shiny, designy" easy-to-break features. Some will do their groceries with the Chubby, however most will cycle the world with it and they only want the best balance and riding experience. You can find those Radicals here: www.radicaldesign.com/radicalpeople The answer is three times by the way ;-)
what about carrying heavy stuff like a few packs of liquid etc, in a warm summer? I like the idea of the convertible trailer a lot in fact. Just woul like the bike to be inside it to prevent theft in non idilliac small villages.
@@giurgindemilan that's a good point - also, Brompton does sell some (rather expensive) bags that mount on the bike, and you can just use the bike like a shopping trolley when folded, so there's that too ^.^

How does it ride better? You move the center of gravity forward, limiting braking power.
Let me know when you taking your Brommie to the store. I will be there.

I wish I had a Brompton.
And I wish I lived in a place where I can just leave my bike unlocked outside a shop without fear of it getting stolen 😜
That's so so cool 😎!
I wish i have bromptons too :-)
Its because people are not being taught to respect other peoples stuff. That shows u how different people are.
a foldable bike that costs USD 2500 is too hard to resist not to steal.
Never heard of a lock on your bike??😃
Someone will steal that Brompton.
Nah he doesn't live in nasty third world country like USA.
He is dutch, Plenty other bikes to steal
excellent explanation -- I am ordering one of these plus a handlebar.
very neat! Would love the trailer hitch for my bike. I am going to look into buying one this week.
I really like that chubby what an awesome idea.could you attach thsese trailers to a recumbent Trike also.
1. We live in a place where people actually say hello and leave your Brompton alone.

doe niet zo belachelijk man. haha
Ok, I'm glad you said that because, wow.
But I would still take my Brommie inside with me. I waited too long to get him!
I was thinking "What?!" then I realised you're in Netherlands - I felt safe wandering around at night, even with youth still on the street :) Still, that's incredible! XD I love the versatility of the Brompton as well! :)
Rucksacks work pretty well for me. I've found 45 Litre to be the top size I can fill and still ride safely.
Depends what you put in it. A 60 litre ruckack with 4 season sleeping bag, tent, mat , stove etc is almost full , but only wieghs about 20lbs. You dont even notice it as you cycle. On the contrary, put 20lbs in a topbag on a light road bike and it feels like a lead weight.
Another excellent design!!!
Awesome! Go Brompton!- Jack
leaving your brompton outside, unattended.. yeah right! this must be a fantasy movie.
A rucksack works just as well, if not better, Clever Trevor.
Yes,but that would be troublesome with a higher load.
The very essence of light-duty grocery gathering for children of all ages.
I love this trailer
What to you think about to create an special bag for shopping? A bag which can stang up easily and with an opening at the top ! I need it :)
I found the 62mm skate wheels quite adequate for trailing indoors, as the floor quality is always OK. The little wheels at the back also mean the back of the trailer doesn't bash on speed humps either. If you want to see a pic, contact me via the messages; I can't post URLs in these comments, it won't let me. Looks cool, btw.

Helmets save lives. Sure it is improbable to need one in a small village with civil and careful drivers (and sensible bike riders..).
Laws that make cyclists wear helmets cost lives.
Also funny you put an extra 'l' in helmet :D

So why not leave the wheels all the way back when it's being towed by the Brompton?
My point exactly
bike teck /hacks / bully adventures yeah he probably stupid
Better Weight distribution. With the wheel at the back, the weight sits on the hitch. With the wheel in the middle, the weight sits on the wheel.
Oh yeah, and the Brompton's still there when he gets back, lol! Also it was painful watching you bend over when assembling the trailer at the start. You'll wreck your back doing this a lifetime! Nice trailer design, though.
anything to stop the trailer wearing out at the edges when you change position of the wheels........

Merci pour votre question ! Oui, mais cela ne convient qu'au Cyclone Chubby www.radicaldesign.com/cyclone-iv-chubby
If you used the Chubby, you could take the bike with you in the trailer
LOL, concealing merchandise!
What fantasyland is this where no one steals your costly bicycle?
What was the intermittent noise behind the camera in the opening scene? It was quite loud.
Did you pay for the cucumber and coffee bag?
Do you have to modify the rear wheel nut to take the tow hitch or does it fit to the standard nut?
where is the cucumber and the stuff in the green and white cellophane bag? he stole um!!!! LOL! and in NY that bike would have bin gone!!

NL, not DK
Can you for the bromton into the trailer putting the wheels on the back setting and board a train or bus?
Yes! Although sometimes you need to take the Wheels of the Cyclone to make it a "bag" and not a trailer avoiding paying a fee.
Looks like a Scandinavian country setting

I would like to see the same but with groceries for one week. I think it'll not be that easy
Pretty girl on the grocery !
Or a nice Brompton bag on the front and wheel the bike around the shop
In London you would have gone outside the shop to see an empty space where your bike used to be.
You can't put stuff in an enclosed bag in a supermarket like that here in the UK! Shoplifter alert!!!
excellent
this is so true, to much taking out the wheels.
Cool!!
But you only paid for two items, I saw from the video.

Genial !
Wouldn't leave a Brompton out alone tho :P
