grocery shopping on a folding bike 

I’ve been using my Brompton for years as a shopping cart, but I much prefer to leave the handlebars in the upright position and PUSH the cart rather than pull. Is more like a store cart and easier to load and control. Shopping cart mode is one of the most BRILLIANT things about dear Brompton and makes it so much more than a mere bicycle.

I have had my Brommie nearly four years. Can't live without it. I have taken it in grocery shops, ironmongers, pharmacys, liquire shops, trains, buses, subways and no one has ever so far stopped me. If I can't enter a place with my Brommie, I will not go there at all.

so ive been selling Bromptons for a while from the shop i work at and today took the plunge and bought an M6L that i pick up tomorrow. cant wait!

I didn’t know the Brompton bikes were designed with such ingenuity. 👍👍

Super helpful videos - I’ve struggled to work out how to shop taking my new Brompton with me - using it as a shopping cart with my Borough bag attached is amazing. Thanks!

Second day with my B, it is awesome feeling. Slow, fast, whichever way I go is just such a cool ride. Going out now. Enjoy the ride!

I'm dying to have my own Brompton! Thank you for this nice video. Keep them coming!

That was great. Thank you!

I am so impressed how you fold and unfold the bike with your bag! I have to unmount the bag when I do folding / unfolding.

Thanks for the video. You inspired me to leave my car at home yesterday and take my Brompton. I used the bike with handlesbars up and bag attached as my trolley.

I love your video man!! Very enjoyable.. thumbs up

When I’ve used my M6L (I added a Nitto BM-4R rack) for shopping, I use a T-Bag. I also keep the handlebar up to aid in steering the M6L while the rest of the bike is folded

Set up in my garage. Sure comes in handy. Works great

Last shot of this video is a beauty!

This is a fantastic idea

I just like your videos and how you present and explain them, they are very fresh, I congratulate you, until the next video 😊

I just got myself a Dahon 20” wheels, and its my first folding bike. And now I ve seen your videos, I definetely want to own a brompton next:) great videos thanx man!

You really motivated me to go for a Brompton and esp an R series.

That carrier block design by Brompton is genius!! I also use the S-bag but it's the older model, so the opening of the bag is a bit limited because it doesn't have that cord. I see that things have changed a bit since I got mine. Maybe it's time for an upgrade

Enjoyed that one Victor, thank you! Just noticed we may have the same, or very similar, rear view mirror. Except I have mine on the right bar end, as we ride on the wrong side and I have it above the bar, not below as you do... 🤷🏼‍♂️ I have actually used my Brompton once for shopping, not a good experience as the place was far too busy and full of trolleys ‘n families, yuk! Anyway, great topic, love the 360deg shots as well, nicely done all round, cheers, Rog... 👍🏻 😉 🐍

hi Victor, i really like your video, it is inspiring me to build my lifestyle with brompton bike.

Hey man, loving all your vids 🙏😄

Keep it coming Victor! Warm greetings from Jakarta.

Hi Victor, whether in Portuguese or English, your videos are very good. Congrats.

Love that bike

This is a great entry to mid level rider

Great.

Que tal Víctor! Está súper genial tu vídeo, me encantó la edición con el dron. Tengo una Brompton desde hace dos años y quisiera conseguir una bolsa, veo también que tienes un portavaso en el volante y eso me gustaría colocar en mi bici también. Te felicito por tu canal y me voy a subscribir. Veo que eres una persona agradable y como decimos en Mexico: me caes bien! Saludos desde Cholula, México. ,🚲

Cool stuff bro

I use the monkii cage for my water bottle. it's worked well - but the bottle has fallen off a few times because I ride a lot of off-road trails on my Brompton.

Hi! Nice video! Keep it up! :)

I'm English living in England and I just tried to buy a Brompton (06:08:2020). They recently had a 48 week order book at which point they stopped taking orders and second hand Bromptons are more expensive than new ones.

actually I saw a brompton clip about using the bike as a shopping cart. apparently u can just fold the bike without folding the handle bar. And it will be a pushing cart. Oh u do have to buy the rear thing with the little wheels.

Hello, brilliantly filmed “every day ‘ shopping experience demonstrating the convenience of the Brompton . I like how you were able to make the Star of the show the Brompton . But that took your skill Cheers Douglas Please how do you get the small wheels to pull out ?

Nicely done and I was relieved to see the good mask use. Wondering how the larger Brompton Electric bag might handle that task.? I don't think it is recommended for remaining on while folded but the size and format look similar. I like the roll ability shown and see upgrades on my horizon. Thanks.

That bike and bag combo is so handy! Great that you can take the whole thing into the store too. Is the bike easy to ride? I’ve not ridden a bike since I was a kid.

I’d need double the volume. The “T” bag would be perfect. But, of course, they stopped making it. I notice the “S” also has a hard handle which let’s you pull the bike. Also true of “T” bag. Bad on Brompton for discontinuing “T” (and also replacing it with something more expensive).

hello very interesting video, I congratulate you I liked how you explained it, I will see more reports, I already subscribed, greetings 😊👍☘️

wow ! that's genius ! Brompton design seems to me as a design for the ages ! I wonder if it has ever been recognised by the Design Frats. Thanks for showing this. I travel abroad quit a bit and travel for leisure within my country. Every time I visit a place, I tend to get a bike rental and ride across the city, villages and get a ground on feel, its my thing of travelling. However, depending on the culture and attitude towards cycling in those areas - My bike, its condition and riding vary and making me to miss the familiarity of my bike sitting at home, I wonder if I get the Brompton and make it my go to bike, being a foldable - will I be able to travel with it by air; as just a check in luggage ? Without the entire process of registering it as a parcel and receiving at a later time at the destination ? I don't mind paying the fee but wouldn't want to go through the hassle of shipping. Please educate us on that, if you've had any experience on this. keep up the great work !

Impressive editing

Thanks for all your videos! I'd like to see a grocery shopping video with the brompton without the rack. Would you still recommend Eazy wheels? I live about 5 blocks from the grocery store and I've walked there many times and back. After the last two years, I've gotten quite lazy about it especially since I started biking.

it reminds me last year I went to kroger (yes, the one next to walmart) with my brompton to buy some foods... the path you took was not the nicest path as far as I remember..:)

Men you are awesome

Really cool video thanks, what front bag is that please?

Because u take the challenge to bring on mart i subscribe to your channel, please do more like this. Where else can u bring? Mc donald perhaps?

Great video! Does the S bag close completely? Wouldn't want my items to get wet..

I don't believe in an heavenly afterlife but if I'm wrong, I imagine it is filled we people who shop by Brompton.

Very nice video. Could you tell us where did you get that main tube cover (black)?

This is cool!:) do you know if this capacity of keeping the bag on with the bike folded is only possible on Brompton, or if its possible in other brands, like Dahon? Thank you!

I just subscribed.

you've really sold me on this bike! any chance you can specify what model you've go here?

Hi, victor. What is the accessories you use on the frame. Like black leather hand bar something. Do you have the name of the brand. Thank you very much. Love you videos!

Hi love your video which brompton bike do you have and basket

Great video! What model of Brompton do you have? Thanks! Jennie

Cara, eu levei um tempo pra entender que você tem dois canais: um em português e outro em inglês. Parabéns pelo conteúdo. Aliás, qual é o modelo dessa Kona azul?

Great video thanks for sharing! Do you have the “easy wheels” on your Brompton? I think I need to upgrade mine!

wow. Four wheels at the bottom, do they come with the original package?

Nice one, thinking about getting the wheels extender - seems to do its job well... does it stay in place well when riding (even on less smooth surfaces)?

Brompton Bikeが欲しい！

awesome video ...informative & brief 👍...what is the bag name btw?

Hi, thanks for the great video! You inspired me to buy my Brompton, and it's the best bike I've ever owned. I wanted to let you know that Whole Foods has a nation wide policy banning customer shopping carts. I recently tried to bring in my Brompton and the security guard blocked me from entering. Here is their response: "Thank you for contacting Whole Foods Market. After receiving your email, we reached out to Store Leadership at the Brooklyn location. I can confirm that it is store policy that folding bikes and scooters are not allowed in the store. However, I am not certain whether this applies to all locations in New York City. Additionally, it is company-wide policy that customers are only allowed to shop into one of our carts or baskets and cannot utilize their own bags or baskets for this purpose."

Wait, I really hope you see this! Can you sit on the seat while it's folded? Like if the check out is crowded and you have to wait in line?

Hey what is the thing called that covers the middle part of the bike ? I sure its so the bike wont get scratch up. Plz let me know 🙏

My tip is.... Don't fold the handle bar! Use it as a cart and push it in front of you! I've done so for years now ;)

What is the bag name? And where do u get the black pocket that mount on ur stem / handle bar? Thank you

Do you have a link or a video about the bag?

Hi, nice video. What model is the helmet you are wearing?

Can someone please tell me what bag type he is using and whether or not the 'T' bag would fully fold down like that (with the handlebars and all)? I'm trying to decide what to buy for an attachment, I need something that will fit my work items and a small shop and that I can remove and carry as a regular bag with straps. Thank you

May I ask if the front bag would ever bump off on bumpy road? Also would fragile groceries such egg be broken from road bumps?

And I'd like to know how things go, shopping with the Brompton E-Bike.

Hi! I noticed that you are having the Brompton Raw Lacquer. Can I check how long did you have your for and is it true that it will rust more easily than other colored Brompton?

I've been riding this bike for about a month ru-vid.comUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.

Hi, would like to ask, are there any possible way to push the bike in the position shown in 4:16? or it is not recommended to? xD

Can I ask what kind of handlebar mirror you have?

may i know what bag you using..thanks

Hello there. Could a person just roll their bike into the grocery store and shop?

nice video in my area in USA when we go shopping we earther get a supplied shopping cart or shopping basket if you use anything else it could get searched especially if you cant see all items in it why does Brompton not make a handlebar support for the shopping baskets in the USA why do i have to think about everything

Does your bike have scratches or paint chip?

How are arriving at Kroger but checking out of wal-mart?

Does the bike roll when folded?

Cara, procurei até falar chega seus vídeos em português. Você os excluiu?

hot to deal with sweaty pants after riding bikes in general, it's really frustrating especially if i am getting into a mall or supermarket ?

Hello, I can't find this S-Bag on internet, where did you buy it ? thank you !

What kind of shorts were you wearing here? Looks sleak and practical 😳

Hi ! The helmet you use here is of a specific brand for folding bikes ?, if it is so, could you please inform me about the name of that brand ? - I want to get an appropiate black helmet to use with my folding bike, but I don't know which one to buy.

Damn I need a Brompton now lol, how much was the bag?

Which type of bag. ?

What brompton model do you have?

Excuse sir, what is the name of the bag?

Brompton bikes are available in India although expensive and out of my reach. Your videos more than make up for it though...

Another way is to fold the bike and put it in the supermarket trolley.

Not sure if I can use the bike instead of market car in Brazil... rs

What kind of mirror is that?

What's the model?

What gimbal and camera you use for recording?

Has anyone tried this with a Brompton electric? I hesitate to spend the money for a rack and/or wheel extender, just to find out that the bike cannot stand upright.

which brompton are you using right now?

Which model is this?

In the U.S., many grocery store loss prevention people consider putting items into a personal bag like that tantamount to concealment and intent to shoplift. It's like a woman putting something into her purse. Be careful with that.

Hey, your shopping list is written in portuguese?
