    Have you ridden these paths before? What did you think of my ride? Where should I go next with my Brompton? Also realized after the fact that I got some stuff wrong, so forgive me Vancouverites i.e the big bridge at 9:20 is in fact the Granville Bridge and the smaller one behind is the Burrard :)

    I watched this while I was on the trainer and instinctively stopped pedaling at 48:36 😂
  • Those cherry blossoms really pop, along with the rest of the colors this time of year. I've never seriously considered a Brompton until watching you scoot around on one, and I'm getting pretty sold... 😂

    The only time I've done that route was in the winter.. So much more beautiful, and crowded, in the spring! Some inspiration to go back. That and the wonderful cuisine. Oh yeah, and bakeries. And pretty much everything, really! 😆

    Great epic bike vlog….really enjoyed this….shows the nice scenic loop trail around Vancouver…….wish you should’ve continued your Seattle to Vancouver tour showing where you stayed….hotels, Air BNBs.

    Vancouver is beautiful. I’ve been many times and always got around in a car. I get super intimidated navigating the city via roads. I’d love to bike the area someday.

    you picked a fantastic day for the ride. Weather has been very changeable the past few days. False Creek is my favorite part of town, although I love the whole city!
  • @louspeed1
    Such a beautiful city! How about checking their neighbor, Victoria - there are so many bike trails and routes that it's dizzying to a Seattleite.
  • @tonytigerking
    I remember it was crazy packed at the end of the RSVP….pretty scary 😂

    Riding around on a brompton seems like a great time especially when travelling. I'll have to pick one up in the future to start the n+1 collection. I, too, drove through Granville Island and wanted to be on a bike.
  • @whodunit5621
    I like your video of Vancouver. Not sure why you didn't bring any of your Brompton bikes to Netherlands. BTW in Amsterdam 9 streets area. There's a Brompton dealer with a really early model of the bike. BtW Vancouver probably has more Bike Friday than Brompton because of tax free Oregon and closeness of the BF company.
  • @James-md2xk
    Where did you get your Brompton bike from??
  • @johnames6430
    Here's a question...why are 90%+ bikers men? When you look at just e-bikes it's an even higher percentage. (not just in this video but as a general statement), I find it kind of odd. Any guesses?
  • @magnetTosser
    What is the device mounted between your handlebars? I have a Brompton and am interested in adding a cycling computer. I enjoy watching your videos!
