Thanks Pyrah. Coincidentally I had a call this evening from a distant family member who wanted my take on the Brompton bike; are they worth the money, are they any good? ..... Sure are, both. Their ride ergonomics defy their small size, they are tough and dependable. Intergrated luggage options makes them extremely useful. I seek a sense of purpose in outbound journeys just so I can ride them. Average about 100k a week on them. Often when I return home from an extended journey, then fold and store, I will stare and marvel that something so compact can offer so much liberty.
