Brompton Distance Ride: How Far Can I (Comfortably) Go? 

Sweet little film! Loved the bike and the scenery and - oh man - that roast chicken dinner! 😋

You seem fortunate to live in an area that is quite flat, so pedalling an A Line Brompton with only 3 gears does not seem to be too much of a problem. The part of England I live in has what is called 'undulating terrain' and my B75 three speed is really hard work and I rarely get into third gear, except on downhill stretches. The six speed C line fitted with a 44T chainwheel is definitely the better option for hilly landscapes.

I’ve ridden mine on some nice tours, they are comfortable enough.

50 miles sur un Brompton sans souffrir, quelle chance! Sur n'importe quel vélo, pour moi, le facteur limitant est de pouvoir supporter la selle. Autrement, pour pédaler, j'y arrive toujours.

Fun ride. Thanks. I have the same bike but changed the front ring to 39 teeth. It's now the ultimate commuter.

I have a Brompton A line bike and it is such a good bike.

Those look so uncomfortable but I've seen several go along way with them ..

Here's a game: match the lyrics of "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk to the different beats in this. It works, though it takes a disco-y turn around 4:37.

I watched, it was fun…thanks.

Thanks for sharing

Good job!
