Brompton Bicycle Origami

[MartyredxMaiden]

that was a very sexy bicycle, and very sexy fold. theswift easy movements and folding curves of the bicycle. very nice and pragmatic as well as aesthetically leasing.

@kulaspyro

Good going.

I think our next challenge would be a 200m race... :-)

Good stuff. Like most things it just takes practice..... I always fumble about if my bike has been unused for a period of time.( not cos it's an ornament but I have various other bikes too)

It seems this video has been edited (fast forwarded): watch the fast movements of the hands.

@Vycatocom

The video has been edited (avisynth) but not fast forwarded. When I made this video I was new to Bromptons and thought I was especially fast at folding/unfolding but have since learned others are this quick - it just takes practice. Do you ride a Brompton?

I should probably admit that it took several attempts not to make a mistake in both folding and unfolding!

[Vycatocom]

@rob1790 I have watched the video again and I have to admit I might be wrong. You are probably one of the fasted Brompton folders ever. :-) Well done.

nice vid. just bought my first brommie yesterday. Your vid is an inspiration, wanna be quick to fold it too. Cheers from Denmark

[stickom]

How did you do this timer?!!

[rob1790]

@stickom

Avisynth. Takes a while to get used to using it, but well worth while.

@rob1790

The Best folding bike in the world , Fact!

[Wyvernchick]

While I can unfold mine pretty quickly, it still takes me ages to fold it back up...

[tpmm1]

@Wyvernchick Haha! Tell me about it... I borrowed my mom's the other day, and I had a happy time fumbling about. :)

Fake! el no esta sentado cuando llega con la bici, por tanto no hace presión hacia abajo, luego se ahorra el paso de desenrroscar la barra del asiento ganando 2 segundos.

[rob1790]

Google translates this as:

"Fake! not sitting on this when you come with the bike, so does pressure down, then saves the passage of desenrroscar bar seat gain 2 seconds."

Which makes no sense. I assure you that my video is not fake, it did take me about 20 attempts to get both folding and unfolding under 10 seconds, and no pedestrians walking past.

well done...still the same Rob :)

@rob1790 Of course it's real. You're just an experienced user!

Nice video!

Take that junk to the chop shop and get a Xootr Swift, fold that bad boy up in 10 secs

[ogicabp4u]

brillant video!

[4innovation]

And I thought I was doing well at under 60 seconds. Guess I need more practice!
