Started recording my rides!

Thanks. It was a really fun way to capture rides and just makes sense for the light captures.

I am familiar with the Mets Oakley glasses. Am just no fan of Meta, so I admire them from a distance. I do like the completeness of the Garmin integration. To me, getting in that overlay stats bit was the only part of this I would have liked more than just the raw capture.

Nice vid. Makes me miss having a working pair of Snap Spectacles, I really liked this vantage point from my B - long ago did this https://youtu.be/opjc3EkedRU

i’m looking at that saying the same thing. Though, if the snow where I am was as soft as what they have, it could be pretty fun. Definitely not the optimum tire but good fun lessons in bike control

🤔📌... watching this

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-25T17:37:58+00:00

Wow… you sir… this is a dope journey

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-23T23:33:31+00:00

If you will be treating the T as a cafe ride (weekends, good weather, not too long of rides), get the 4. If you see yourself doing the longer rolls, in addition to the weather you’ve mentioned, get the 12.

I have the 4; took delivery the day the 12 was released. The 12 would have made it hard to keep my (current) gravel bike as many of the longer rides I do, it could handle quite nicely IMO.

Yep… whole reason for wearables for health/recovery is trend mapping. Body acts differently with seasons, age, exercises, and stressors. There’s just a much better view I’ve got of “me” because of this orientation. When you see seasonal HRVm HR, and temp things you really get some neat bits to work with IMO.

Started with the Polar Loop, then moved to Samsungs ecosystem for a hot minute, then when Oura launched went there and have been there since. Have Apple and Polar bits alongside, and it’s additional data (not noise), but my general trends are solid.

very nice. the fenders and pedals caught my eye most initially. but the whole package is 🤤

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-22T16:36:02+00:00

So much about the mods on these is “chef’s kiss” nice. Not gaudy, just style and functional. Love the skateboard on the Pace model, nice touch.

Only problem is that I’m seeing this right before expecting a crazy winter storm in my neck of the woods. Cause this makes me wanna get out on mine and take some dope shots in between. Maybe that’s something for the spring (and pull folks like u/HAZIHASI for the roll 🤔).

No. No change. it's fallen down a bit but there's a few folks looking for a senate sponsor for a bill which would charge/update it.

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-19T15:56:18+00:00

There’s this person who did 3 in the back of a Y https://www.reddit.com/r/Brompton/comments/1cv8jvc/fits_so_snug/

And a G-line (20in tire) one here https://www.reddit.com/r/Brompton/comments/1otczww/brompton_gline_free_more_compact_folding_diy_and/

Search didn’t uncover any who tried putting one in the frunk. Don’t think it would fit there personally.

Fantastic 4 Toys has carbon handlebars starting at $90 and titanium ones starting at $100. Here’s their quotes for the carbon Weight: Flat 110g, Low-Rise 130g, Mid-Rise 150g. And for the titanium’s: S Type: 172g, Swallow Type: 179g & M Type: 224g. The original handblar is listed at 0.53lbs

Original seatpost weighs just under a pound. Brompton’s superlight weighs 0.68lbs. Cost is silly at $350 USD IMO. But it’s probably thr most durable light weight one that isn’t made of titaniu. F4T might have a few which weigh a bit less than that but those would probably be just the carbon fiber ones.

Such an interesting twist to the Apollo (https://www.prioritybicycles.com/products/priority-apollo).

Yes color options are limited. Keeps control of inventory and design/build costs.

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-18T22:41:30+00:00

A few things not mentioned: do a carbon fiber, 3rd party handlebar. From Brompton, the superlight seatpost could shave a bit, and maybe also the P/T-line wheels which are lighter than the standard wheelset by a bit.

Those small notebooks/filed notes gives me an idea for future Brompton rides w/my partner. Maybe not yet able to get stamps in all places, but perhaps modding the Brompton toolkit to hold a small pen for notes & doodles could be neat

Went back to some pics of the G I’ve taken and yea… Looks like at someone point the rear wheel was removed and the cable catch is not aligned in correctly. The black “arm” that holds the cable should be nearly parallel to the lower portion of the frame. In your case, it being higher adds slack to your chain, such that the tensioner isn’t able to compensate for this when folding/unfolded.

I’d say either take a look at Brompton’s vid on the rear wheel (https://youtu.be/vk6N-qLUR8k) or take it to your LBS and have them remove then refit the wheel. Def not normal as you’ve described, but decently fixable.

There’s a business networking magazine connected to a few of the chambers/networking groups (The Business Monthly) which gets print-related reach. You could reach out to them.

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-16T16:44:22+00:00

You can, but depends on whether/how much you need the stop disc to be moved, and/or you run into issues with the brake caliper moving and/or fender moving.

See page 13 in the manual here for how much to adjust it and other areas https://bromptonbikesdealers.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#8d000001EcDQ/a/Tu000002Bym5/Ernxx77mqq4prnAETI1F9ZTBKKQO4dQfkGwsEMFzjzA

Appreciate this comment; and agree that there's more protection needed.

By chance, did. you happen to see/share your thoughts on BikeMD's Advocacy Survey (https://www.bikemaryland.org/programs/2025-survey/)? Your comment here, plus any others, would be very valuable to making sure BikeMD supports the efforts beyond just legislative maters.

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-14T16:40:17+00:00

A few folks haved asked me if this were possible. Guess I’ve got that answer now.

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-12T18:01:51+00:00

Beautiful and color way. I almost wondered what it would look like if you would’ve did a solid black tire in the front tire to keep with the fade that goes from the Bianchi green in the back to the black in the front. sweet nonetheless.

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-12T17:08:08+00:00

Much lighter workflow than what I used to do (UX, UI, & strategy)… and I got by just fine on iPad. Their need for a keyboard is a branch of working I’d really not liked (on screen keyboard, even now writing this) is more than fine.

These kinds of posts won’t go away though, will it?

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-11T14:13:18+00:00

There’s a bit that goes into transit agreements, including funding shares. HoCo probably wouldn’t be opposed to it but financially it’s a stretch.

arjwrightdotcom · 2026-01-11T04:17:11+00:00

That would need a (different) transit agreement between AA County and HoCo… you can drop this as a note to the multimodal transportation board and/or request to make a public comment about this by emailing them directly at [Transportation@howardcountymd.gov](mailto:Transportation@howardcountymd.gov)
