The Brompton as a "regular" bike
On the floating section of the Esplanade, 6 Feb 2024. Camera: Pentax IQZoom 170SL (Espio 170SL) Film: Kodak Ultramax 400
Over on the Bikes and Playgrounds blog, Eric has taken receipt of a Brompton. He likes how small it folds, but doesn’t like the ride in comparison to his other folders, so he was pondering selling. In a comment, I advised him to keep it around for a bit, as there may come a…

I picked up my Brompton from its service earlier - glad to have it back in my possession.
Less than thrilled that they left it in the bike room, unlocked, with the door to the room wedged open. I’m just glad I called by when I did. Otherwise the day could have taken a completely different turn. Bike theft is rampant in London!
I didn’t have my helmet with me, so took my folded bike home on the DLR. But I couldn’t resist unfolding it as soon as I got off and cycling the 500m to the end of the street. It was such a good feeling to be back on the bike and I can’t wait to do some cycling this weekend.
I definitely need to build my confidence after all this time, so I’ll be seeking out some cycle paths and quieter stretches of road in the neighbourhood. Then, it’ll be some early morning trips to the office.
Woo-hoo! 🚴🏼

Design Sprint Exercise
The topic my group chose was The Brompton Bike, and we chose to focus on the fact the bike was built to be folded up and handheld. We started planning the animation by writing down all ideas, then we each worked on getting the bits together for part of a presentation, we didnt have time to put it all together. I did the rotoscoping of the folding bike as fast as i could, abbie made some thumbnail storyboards and mia made some concept art of some parts of the bike.
Even though the topics didnt relate to our brief it was very useful to see how it would be to quickly get ideas together, i think i can carry some of these fast paced techniques into my projects this year.

Know what pisses me off? eScooters should be legal on roads and bikepaths and treated like electric bikes, but they're not. In fact the fact Electric Bikes are perfectly legal but eScooters are not is, to be frank, an act of class warfare. An electric bike is around £1,000+. The cheapest Halfords Adult eScooter is £529, only one eBike is cheaper than that at Halfords, the rest go for £1,000+. They are literally locking out poorer people from something that would allow them to not need to drive everywhere.
An eScooter is not merely cheaper than an eBike but also gets the job done for small to medium distance Journeys. Every eBike on the road is a car off the road, freeing up roadspace and thus reducing traffic. On top of this, they can be used on bike lanes and bike paths. Those segregated bikelanes are perfect for eScooters, as are those old railway lines they turned into bike paths. Oh, did I mention they fold up, meaning that not only can you have one in a flat or a house in your hallway but you can also take them on a train or a tram, or on a metro and take up even less space than a bike or even a Brompton.
eScooters have the potential to free people from needing to rely so much on the car and the fact that eBikes are legal while the cheaper, more convienient eScooter is not is not merely an act of class warfare but is literally holding back a mobility revolution that could increase public transportation use, reduce car traffic, and make life better for those who cannot afford a car or who are on lower incomes.

Of Baby Milk, Biking, Booking & Bombing
When the universe says go, for a change, who am I to say no? LUH.
Pinagdadasal ko na lang talaga mga bagay-bagay lalo na 'pag I'm cornered like 'yung pag-stand in the corner ko nung bata pa ako sa kasalanang hindi ko naman ginawa. Kung baga, damay lang ako kasi ako ang ate tapos 'yung kapatid ko, sinaksak 'yung susi sa outlet, so kasalanan ko pa rin na nakatunganga lang ako sa TV on a weekend. :D Anyway, things change in the same manner that they never change, too. Nagkaroon lang ng maturity 101 saka letting go and letting be.
Binyag nung bunso ng kapatid ko and as usual, 'di ko na naman na-gets na ninang pala ako kahit sinabi kong ayoko nga kasi. So, kahit ang gusto ko talagang iregalo is Samba na for 6 to 9 months, gatas na lang talaga ang binili ko. Mas kailangan niya 'yun lalo need niya hypoallergenic baby milk. Next step ko dito is maghanap ng rektang kausap sa brand/marketing/sales team which is relatively easy to do, I think. Baka kahit 20% off ma-swing ko kasi mhie, ang legit na nakakalumpo e ang lakas pang magatas ng bata na 'to. Tatawid natin 'yan.
I found myself in the church where I had my retreat ages ago. Grabe. So much time had passed, ayun, single pa rin ako. LOL. No pressure pa rin, pero intention is shaking and pushing as I am pulling away. Slay. I took vids and photos as well as a ninang na 'di naka-white kasi akala ko nga, hindi ako ninang. LOL. Tinanong ko pa several times sa kapatid ko kasi ready naman 'yung white drip ko tbh. E sabi, oks lang daw kahit ano, pero after ng food coma ko pa narealize na ninang pala ako. Kakabasa kasi ng message ng late and super delayed response, ayan tuloy. As always. LOL. Hindi rin naman kasi importante ang NINANG title. It's just a title. Obviously, hindi siya magiging spoiled sa akin, pero sabi ko nga sa kapatid ko, 'pag wala akong anak o ampon, lahat ng kapurit kong asset and liabilities, lahat sa 2 pamangkins ko rin naman mapupunta. Takte. Hahahaha. So, travel is the key. LELS. Saka pangarap kong pick up, Vespa and beach house with my baby doggos. Tawang-tawa kapatid ko. Mag-anak na raw kasi ako. Sabi ko, okay na ako sa gatas chronicles at binyag souvenirs, for now.
Speaking of binyag souvenirs, natawid din natin ang test market ng ating small project. So, habang pinapamigay niya 'yung "samples" kita ko na agad anong mali. HAHAHAHAHA. Mali talaga noh? Sa marketing kasing dalisay, the more sensorial the experience is, the better and more ensnaring. Perception overrides realities like Potions classes ni Snape. So, ayun na nga. Excited ako kasi more than two birds with one stone na tapos, parang may ilang interested to buy my babies for the holiday vibe ng hindi ako nagbebenta. HAHAHAHHAHA. OPAK. As an online seller, plus 'yan.
'Tong dalawang tatay ko naman, maka-bash nung pinakita 'yung pic namin ni Onuh. LOL. Sabi nung tatay kong totoo: Nak, okay naman. Bagay kayo kaso, parang 'di siya lalaki. Pero sobrang tangkad niya. Ang liit mo lalo tignan. Tapos UP Women's Basketball pa jacket niya, so parang 'di rin ako magkaka-apo na 2 diyan. Me: Dad, you're a dick. Hahahahahaha. Second dad ko naman was like: Eto talaga e. Dami namang options, sungit mo lang talaga. Make your dad proud naman. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Jusko.
As a side kwento, nakita namin ni chixxx si Cagulangan after the game with NU kaso as in 'di ko siya makita. Tapos sabi niya tawagin ko raw. Sabi ko next time na, though, sayang 'yun tbh. Hahahaahahaha. At napagalaman kong 21 lang din pala so, parang puwede ko na siyang maging anak as a batang ina. Let's not go there.
Dahil pinaliguan ni dad si Vici and 'yung 2 alpha dogs ng buhay ko, ganado si dad mag-bike bilang parang inaalikabok na Brompton ko. Tawang-tawa ako kasi bilang bobo mag-fold si dad as an Aries, legit na-bend 'yung tire pump na kasama sa bike ko. UGH. Sabi ko, oks lang. 'Wag na init ulo kasi bobo gaming is life. And nagagamit pa naman. Nabili na rin. So, lovemarks na lang talaga 'yun. Imagine, Brompton tire pump, nayupi ng ganun-ganun lang? Hahahahaha.
Actually, kaya ko lang gustong mag-bike kasi happy si Vici ng lumalayas. Kaya lang din ako naka-Brompton maliban sa dream ko siya, kasi, mas banayad ang takbo ko in the name of Vici na steady rides lang ang best sa 4-5 kg body frame niya. I've tried Trek na sumisibat. Sobrang angas tbh, and for sure, Bianchi na isa ko pang choice e hindi aayaw. HOWEVER, gusto ko talagang kasama si Vici sa rides. As in. Iba 'yung happy vibes ko 'pag may wind sa face niya. Hahahaha. As a babaw mamaw girly lang po talaga. My own way of saying thank you to my first dog who saved me 11 years ago some time in December. HUY. Scrooge pa rin ako. Hahahahahaha.
Hassle ng bike ko today. 'Yung core ko is non-existent na pero oks lang. Sana talaga mas ma-instill ko biking sa weekends at sana less ulan na rin until the end of 2023 and pasok ng 2024.
Also, natupad na ang novena ni D&K for me sa pagsama sa Japan sa tamang panahon. Dapat solo-chixx trip ito, kaso sabi ko talaga, ang gusto kong kasama sa Japan this time around is 'yung legit travel buddies ko. Big group ito which namention ko na yata previously, pero not sure pa. Ticket price is hihihihihihihihihihihihihi. And sobrang not expecting that I'd get a booking pa lalo na now. Hyperinflation. Nadama ko talaga na answered prayer ito lalo sa mga tinawid at patuloy kong tinatawid sa 2023, lalo the past weeks. HAY. So, nung nabook 'yung ticket, iyak-iyak talaga ako. Sabi ng dad ko: Baliw na naman siya. Parang Japan lang naman 'yun. Sama ako? Hahahaha. Sagot ko gastos mo. Me: LUH. Ayoko. Pero pag-isipan ko. CHZ. Dama ko rin na gusto lang din ng tatay ko na maiba ang hangin ng paligid ko. Kasi dinibdib ko talaga lahat ng missed flights ko lalo SoKor kasi change budget nung sa ina ko. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Syempre, SoKor can wait. Ina ko ang gastos for her, can not. LOL.
Hindi ito revenge travel, pero more like, something I am sure na magiging memorable. 'Di rin ako sure kung anong mga ganaps ng Japan 2024, pero sure akong ready na ako, direk. CHZ. Sabi nung dad ko, kawaii comments, kumakaway muli. Me: Basic. Matic. Watch me. Tinanong din dad ko bakit 'pag may kawaii comments, 'di ako masungit. Me: Dad, pati mga paslit may kawaii noh? Saka iba kasi sa Japan. GMG. Send rin akong links. HIHIHIHIHI.
Lastly, nag-open up si dad about my ina. HUY. Syempre, nung una, joke lang. Lagi naman e. Tapos, naluha na naman siya. Actually, 'yung dad ko kasi, hindi talaga emotional. Mainitin lang ulo talaga pero sakto lang lagi feeling niya. Parang poker face pero walang iniisip na masama o kakaiba. So, kanina, sabi ko sa kanya na 'di madali. Lalo sa kanya since asawa at ina niya, doble ekis na. Pero, okay lang maging sad. Okay lang umiyak. Okay lang magpabebe sa jowa niyang uhm. LOLOLOLOL. Pero kailangan niyang i-embrace ang tamang grieving process 'di tulad ko noong nawala nanay ko.
What's weird and wonderful is nire-recount namin this year 'yung mga naganap sa mom ko, then translate those learnings sa experience namin sa ina ko. LUH. Wounded healers era na ba kami ni dad? OWEEMMM. LUH. Pero, sabi ko nga lagi: The best way is to forgive someone is to let the bad vibes go even when the person never ever said sorry to you. Doing so gives you the power to choose to forgive yourself for allowing the hurt na minsan, akala kasi nung kabila e hindi nakakahurt at all. It's not an easy task. It's a KPI that's worse than a drop na death-defying, but for sure, this KPI is worthwhile in this lifetime and maybe, in the next one, too. HUY.
So, Tuesday na maya-maya. Tambak labada sa bahay pero prio natin ang tambak na labada forda baby milk, biking and booking. Opo. This long weekend has been a really weird and wonderful one.
PS: Daming gwapong runners and chixxxx bikers today sa biking spot namin. Also, gwapo nung nag-abot ng package ko sa South din 'to. We The South talaga e. Daming quality leads. LOL. Hahahahahahahaha. Keep 'em coming, universe. And keep me informed... well informed as dense delulu dalisay on training wheels girly.
PS2: Tulo laway na naman dad ko sa Santa Cruz na in fairness, sobrang underrated ng design and set up. Sabi ko naman: 'Yung biker is senior na so, enjoy niya mainam 'yan, dahil life is short. At saka, benta mo na kasi Trek and Marin mo para 'yung dream bike mo pasayo na ng tuluyan habang saktong kalas pa lang tuhod mo, aba. Abangan.

Bicycle Branding
Brompton - Bike Hire
Foldable bikes found in lockers - mostly in London
short term hire
4 differerent types of bikes to hire - foldable, lightweight performance, ultralight titanium and original
designed to fold away into a compact shape to make travelling easier
branding is simple, using a serif, quite formal typeface surrounded by a box with the same line weight
Branding fits more of the London, maybe more wealthy target market as it looks very formal and restricted
Website uses a sans serif typeface for both the body copy and headings
use of imagery helps reach a more inclusive and diverse target market
showcases the bike options - product placement
branding is relatively simple, but effective - a lot more minimalist
Lime Bikes
Largest shared electric vehicle company
short term rentals for electric bikes and scooters
in more than 200 cities and 30 countries
clever branding as the lime wheel looks like a bike wheel
vibrant colour, stands out and recognisable
typeface is easy to read, friendly and clean
Sans serif, clean body copy and headings
really defined colour palette helps make their branding look very cohesive and put together
Vibrant green works well with the white
definitely a more open target market from their branding compared to Brompton Bikes - more friendly and approachable, age range I would guess would be from 18+
Dott
bike rental company - e-scooters and e-bikes
in many cities across europe
Rounded, sans serif typeface
works really nicely, the d and o almost look like bike wheels
almost symmetrical logo which I really like
a lot more illustrative and a bit more experimental than the other two brands in terms of website design
more friendly and seems more personal and 'handmade' with the illustrations
bold, heavy-weight heading works well and is eye-catching, I really like the typeface they use as it looks less clean and more fun
a small criticism for me is that I personally don't think the logo typeface matches the heading typeface, the logo is very clean and minimalistic, but the heading typeface is more experimental
colour palette works well, very bold and bright using the primary blue and red alongside the black and white

When a new bike bag triggers a mini-honeymoon
The Fairweather bag on the Brompton, 23 Jan 2023. Olympus XA/Fujicolor 400
Since returning from my Tokyo Trip about two weeks ago, the only bike I’ve ridden is my Brompton. Why is that? It’s partially because of how well this folding contraption proved itself in the Land of the Rising Sun. I know that there’s a contingency of bike snob that looks askance at these bikes with tiny wheels. But if I…

Taking my Brompton in for a service this morning.
It’s been far too long since I was a regular cyclist. That needs to change.
Step one: ensure the bike is road worthy.

Really p****ng down this morning, so a wet ride on the @bromptonistanbul British racing green machine. Especially important to dry the Brompton with an old, absorbent towel, including up into the seat-post tube, then using a different cloth that is lightly sprayed with WD40, wipe the Brompton down over the frame, handlebars, rear triangle, and folding pivots. Do NOT get any WD40 on the seat post, wheel rims or brakes. Lightly spray the cranks, chain, tensioner and rear hub to push off any excess water, and re-lubricate the transmission. Check the brake cables for moisture before folding, so that you don’t allow water to slide into them when folded and corrode them, damaging your brakes and levers. Wipe the grit and mud off the shell rims and spokes with another damp cloth - don’t use this cloth on the frame as you can scratch the paintwork with grit on the cloth. Once that’s done, you can safely fold and store the Brompton somewhere dry. Maintaining your bike after rainy day riding is good for any machine, but especially for @bromptonbicycle as water can do so much damage by seeping into the tubes and cables, through the fold… . . #brompton #bromptonbicycle #bromptonistanbul #madeforcities #bromptonlife #bromptonbike #rainydaycycling #bicyclemaintenance #hipstamatic #frankblens #slickrock191 #photobyadrianrmarsh (at Istanbul, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClaWB0doLXR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
