I love my new Brompton

......de-lurking.....

Just moved to a new job in London, and now have to go from Kings Cross to
Park Lane. Bus along Oxford Street takes ages and ages....so after 2 days I
decided a folding bike was a necessity.....

.....found a Brompton in LBS.....it's FAB :-) Fun to ride, easy to fold and
take on the train, has got me introduced to lots of people at the new job as
they ask about it......

I love my Brompton

(there, said it, hopefully to a bunch of people who won;t think I'm
completely barmy)

Cheers, Hedgohog

......re-lurk......

Glad you have taken the plunge. I have been thinking about a folding
bike myself but don't know what the optimum commute is. Think I may have
a look at the website.

The toe is definitely in the water!

I hope the A to B Magazine web site is on your list of places to
visit as it has a good comparison of the various types. For town use
the Brompton is considered the best http://www.atob.org.uk by many
people.

Certainly not, mine quickly moved up to "however did I do without it?"
status. Have you got the front pannier? Makes a fab bike even fabber...

Not yet....it's on order from LBS....this evening cycling to Kings Cross
there was a train of 4 Bromptons so I had a good look at their front
panniers at the traffic lights! The others were very impressed by it too, so
I'm looking forward to losing the rucksack!
