- Welcome back to another BFT video!! We had a chance to do Monday morning ride. We drove to Astoria, Queens and then rode our bikes into the city by using Queensboro Bridge. People often mention this bridge as dangerous. Please watch and see if it is really bad as people say! Also we stopped at some of the fun spots in Manhattan!
Brompton we used: T-Line and Superlight
RECORDED ON DEC. 2022

Thanks so much. As a former New Yorker that's too afraid to venture into the city these days it's nice to see a street view video of yours. Keep the videos coming!
There is a learning curve to riding in the city. Group rides are great for a starting point if you have time. I hope one day there will be a better bike infrustructure where kids can ride their own bikes in the city instead of being on the parents bike only.
Whoop, two videos in less than 24 hours 👊🤙 Super nice, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the video, Enjoy watching. I want to try riding my bro in downtown NY!
I always enjoy your rides. Thanks.
Some fantastic video of the main drag in New York ... great video ..
Thanks 👍
Good video. I hate taking 54 back to the east side. 52nd is less busy on the weekdays.
Enjoyable as usual, THANKS!!!
thanks for sharing
Gran Manzana = the Big Apple
Are you sure ?
Well, manzana is Spanish for "Apple" and NYC is usually called "the Big Apple," so my brain did its thing. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
@@deborahclayton7105 I think you're dead right.
@@bobwilliamson5574 Regards from Argentina, the translate is correct my friend, The Big Apple
i'm a beginner cyclist. Love how smooth and effortless you pedal.
Thanks for the Spirgrips update! I am waiting for my delivery - due next week.
BFT, it's always nice to take a bike ride with you 🚴
Your videos really are the best, thank you!
Glad you like them!
Let's goo 🚴
This was a lovely ride to watch! Really got me in the mood to buy my Brompton and do some cycling.
Thanks for this guys , you have inspired me to get out on my brompton and explore London.
Glad to see its not just me that gets the black oil from muc off lube.
I am always bombing around Denver on my Brompton! 🤜🤙
Absolutely love these videos! Thanks for the high quality content. I’ve never been to New York, it seems so magical 😍 If you’re after the perfect Brompton rear light I would recommend the Flare RT. It’s so tiny and weighs nothing, but is the brightest rear light I’ve ever seen.
Thanks I will look into it. I am always breaking electronics lol.
The Knog lil cobber is also really nice and very light.
Great video, nice to see you can cycle around NYC with quite a few lanes, didn't see any when I went 20 years ago!
It's still a work in progress with many dangerous interactions with cars, but much better than 20 years ago.
Only lube I get on well with on the Brompton is Muc-off C3 ceramic dry. It doesn't last well in wet conditions however. Muc-off wet I've found attracts a lot of dirt and then the derailer stops working on my Brompton 6 speed. Also tried Squirt wax which worked well in dry and partially wet conditions but bits of the wax would flake off - not great when storing the bike indoors. I'm guilty of not wiping the chain after applying but only use any lube sparingly on the rollers only, one drop each one.
Wow we are on the same page! I recently switched to the wax lube. The regular Muc was horrible. And I also used the Muc-Off C3 Ceramic but it needed to be applied often. The wax is so much cleaner and the gears are nice and quiet. I will continue testing it but so far it has been working out nice!
I have just ordered a new Garmin Explore, showing a map when riding, and a, little longer, black titanium seat post for my Lightweight (I'm too tall for the standard length 535 mm I have for a test for now. And they may be bought from China in intermediate length versions). And I still want to be able to put it directly in my, German, black B&W transport box for a Brompton, as a travelling man, so hopefully I'm still able to do it, without having to take my "folding bike" apart! If so, all bikes are "folding bikes", if they need to be taken apart.
But the "horns". I have seen from "Chrisbybike" in Brazil, that they seems to fold around the wheel, so I suppose that yours do also when the bike is folded? Finn. Denmark 😄
6:47 La grand manzana ist spanish for "the big apple"
Great video. In process myself of choosing a Brompton in England..... Went to Brompton Junction in Covent Garden London last week, to experience both the mid and high handlebar options. Probably going to get a Bumblebee Yellow C Line Explore 6 speed High handlebar type..... Fun colour with summer coming. Particularly like your video as I love New York and it reminds me of my great time there.... the Brompton connection is of course really interesting and nice to see. Best wishes from UK.
The Bumblebee Yellow is a nice color. I would love to have one. Good luck!
Decades ago, I grew up in Queens. I’ve bicycled in New York, mostly in Queens, a fair bit in Manhattan. I was actually surprised at how mellow the ride through Manhattan was, mostly calm & agreeable, and almost all on bike paths! Wow! My beloved New York City.
It's a work in progress but hopefully one day it will be safe for kids to ride.
Every time you mention a new product could you provide a link in the video description?
Amazing. Your (series of) videos are super helpful for me to learn more about the bike. Im thinking between new t line (have an invite to purchase for 2023 order) or electrified p line. Until the t line, i was really looking to purchase electrified version last year. Live in LA now and primarily ride for general commute and occasional fun ride in certain hilly terrain. I know electrified version and t line is completely different species but i would appreciate any general advise, insights, thoughts….
I tried electrified demo bike and it was surprisingly fun, and felt that i probably can speed it. I never had a chance to see the t line not sure how fast/versatile it is…
I don't have any experience with any electric bike. If I had a choice between a T Line and P Electric, the T Line would be my choice. You can always add an electric kit later if you need once for commuting. I love my T Line and there are not many other folding bikes that can compare to it imho.
@@BromptonFamilyTime going for t line tonight lol
sorry, first time viewer here. which brompotons are you all riding here?
👩🏻Shu rides T-line and I rode Super-light in this ride video.
I love your backpack, where can I get one ?
It was a collaboration backpack with Bike New York and Manhattan Portage. I don't think they make it anymore. You can check for updates on the Bike New York website and maybe they will have it again.
What's the weight on the Superlight now?
I haven't weight it recently but probably around 18-19 lbs.
Do you find it dirty compared to Japan?
Japan has cleaner streets overall but they also have more gravel roads depending on the location. I love riding in NYC. The view changes every time so there is always something to see and explore.
S-Bar seems to be the best overall?
I love the S bars for most of my riding. Maybe when I am older and shorten my ride distance the M would be better since I can sit more upright.
What are the handlebar grip extenders?
Spirgrips. They are the best purchase so far!
@@BromptonFamilyTime Just ordered some, thanks!
3:42 MUC OFF is the WORST chain lube I've ever tried. Never again.
Same. I am happy I went with a wax based oil.
I know what you mean about Francis Bacon
👩🏻Thanks for understanding! I love his paintings.
It seems to me that pedestrians are dumb the whole world over.
What an aweful city. Every inch is sealed. Probably not a single insect living there anymore
👩🏻 Yes, most parts are concrete. However there are many parks including big park like Central Park which is over 800 acres. If you go there you see many living things.
