BROMPTON M6R (Black Lacquer/Black Edition)

For me who doesn't have a driver's license、Bicycles are also one of the finest photography equipment。I often use my bicycle when I go to Shinjuku to shoot、Extremely convenient without traffic jams for commuting to a photography school or visiting exhibitions in Tokyo。Just own “Colnago C40” Is a binding pedal, so it was a little difficult to walk after getting off the bicycle.。That's why I bought last year with flat pedals so I can ride it easily. “CANNONDALE BAD BOY 1” was。However, BAD BOY has a belt drive and internal shifting.、Because it is a special specification called left-handed fork、Both front and rear wheels are difficult to remove、Rinko (moving a bicycle on a train) is virtually impossible。I used to use the C40 when traveling around, such as when shooting in Okutama.、Since overhauling in the corona vortex、I've come to be confused even if my attachment is a little scratched。So these days I've been using it exclusively for round trips on cycling roads。In the first place, traveling on a road bike takes time and effort.、Loading capacity is almost equal to zero、It is necessary to devise to carry the shooting equipment。 Well, the introduction has become longer,、As a means to solve the above problem、Folding bike “BROMPTON” Was newly introduced。It's a bicycle with a high degree of hobby to use as practical equipment、It's not cheap shopping, so I had a lot of trouble until I bought it.、As a result, it was a very good purchase。The first thing that is excellent is the feeling of size when folded according to the reputation。Within 60 cm in length and width、This is a little bigger than the photographic paper of Daizen paper。The depth is 28 cm, which makes it surprisingly compact.。I brought it into the store several times when I had a meal、It feels like a little big baggage, so there is no sense of discomfort.、I wasn't blamed by the clerk。In terms of weight, it will be incomparably larger than a road bike,、Rinko is very easy due to its compactness and ease of folding。It only takes a minute or two to fold it and store it in a rinko bag.。The essential driving performance is、I didn't expect it at all because it's the weight mentioned above and it's a 16-inch small wheel bike.、It feels like I was disappointed in a good way。The flexibility of the iron frame combined with the upright position will not make you tired even if you ride for a long time.、The gear ratio with a fairly wide ratio makes it run comfortably regardless of road surface conditions and slopes.。To be clear, I can't get the speed、Very suitable for running slowly with a camera。And BROMPTON's unique front carrier system is easier to use than expected.。You can attach and detach the dedicated bag with one touch、Since the carrier block is attached to the head tube、Handling is stable even with heavy shooting equipment。Especially this hot season、It was the comfort of the scales from the eyes that freed me from the stuffiness of the backpack.。Also serves as a test run last week、I ran to Okutama while shooting about 50km。I can run at this distance without any problems.、I was a little scared when I got on the steep descent in Okutama.。 Now I have three bicycles in a small room、BROMPTON occupies almost no place, so there is no problem。 ≫ Brompton Japan official website

Cannondale Bad Boy 1

I wanted a bicycle that I could easily ride on while still wearing sneakers、New Cannondale Bad Boy 1。Cannondale bikes are built on the philosophy of System integration、No need to spend time and money to upgrade parts。Above all, the reason for choosing Bad Boy 1、Left tea forks and belt drives、Because it's an assembly of quite special parts such as hub shifting、Because there's nothing better than this。The weight of the car is 1.5 times as heavy as that of the C40 (road bike), so there is no light feeling.、The quietness of the belt drive makes you feel refreshed。Of course there is no need to lubricate the drive train、No worry about oil stains。Hub shifting is possible even when stopped waiting for a signal, so it is ideal for near-field riding。so、Recently, this place has become more popular than the C40。Due to the weight of the car, there are some situations where it is difficult to climb uphill.、It ’s leg strength training and I ’m stepping on the pedal.。
