Rhine River Brompton Bike Tour: SWITZERLAND - From the top! (Stage 1)
YouTube video by bromptoning Rhine River Brompton Bike Tour: SWITZERLAND - From the top! (Stage 1)

Our favourite part of the Rhine River Cycle Route was definitely Switzerland! This is Stage 1 from the top of Oberalp Pass. We descended over 1000m and even rode some single track! #biketravel #Brompton youtu.be/olPSvXiCtFY?...

Swiss Alps Hike to Devilโ€™s Bridge On our way to the source of the Rhine River, we stopped in Andermatt to see the Devilโ€™s Bridge.

On our Rhine River Bike Tour, we give the Bromptons a rest (before the big ride from the TOP of the mountain!) and hike to Devil's Bridge. bromptoning.com/traveling-ad...

As we're putting together another video of our Rhine River Bike Tour, I made this quick #Relive MAP of Stage 1 through the Swiss Alps. IT'S SO GORGEOUS! #biketravel #cycletouring #BikePacking #Brompton #Switzerland

Thanks to the roughly 60 people who took part in Toronto's solidarity ride for Alex Pretti, as well as to the over 100 other cities around the world who also hosted rides. Here's a video I recorded as the ride passed by Queen's Park. #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #VikingBiking #StopICE

Rhine River Tour: The Scenic Train to Switzerland When cycle touring, itโ€™s smart to have a multimodal backup plan. Ours sure came in handy on Day 3!

One of the best things about travelling with our #Brompton bikes is how easy they are to take on any train, no special reserved bike space or ticket needed! #biketravel #multimodal bromptoning.com/traveling-ad...

Rhine River Brompton Bike Tour: GERMANY (Monheim to Dusseldorf)
YouTube video by bromptoning Rhine River Brompton Bike Tour: GERMANY (Monheim to Dusseldorf)

Here's a video of us Canadians enjoying the novelty of being able to bike safely between cities. Not only does Germany have excellent cycling infrastructure, it doesn't have suburban sprawl. At least not like North America. The result? A gorgeous ride to Dusseldorf! #biketravel youtu.be/qbZN14hVE2k

#2 on this list is Zurich, Switzerland, a city we travelled to this past summer. Can confirm that Zurich is very bike friendly!

Awww! I'm allergic to cats to - sth I found out when I got a cat. What helped the most was getting a HEPA filter, a really hardcore one recommended by the vet. After a few months, my body got used to Tigre's dander and I no longer had to run the HEPA all the time. But so necessary in the beginning!

Took the Brompton G Line out for the Annual New Year's Day Social Ride in Toronto. A small but mighty group braced the brisk -8 C cold to bike from downtown Toronto to Humber Bay Park.

Happy New Year #BikeTO !!

Hey, bsky! We talking about logo design today.

Here's a little interview we did with our Art Director, Jeffrey Flores, about his goals, inspiration, and process when coming up with the logo for First Moon of Mercury, a game we're currently developing.

100% this! I'm going to start calling those two-wheeled electric vehicles with throttles that don't require pedalling "e-motos" too. Hopefully we can shift the narrative => e-bikes are NOT a problem in Toronto's bike lanes, e-motos are the problem. #BikeTO #bikesky

That is true! New York has waaaaay more people than Montreal, so the percentage of Montrealers biking is much greater.

What I find interesting is NYC's are all bridges, points masses of people are funnelled into to get across the river. Whereas Montreal's are just streets! Regular streets with tons of people biking on them. Yay, Montreal! #veloMTL
