Brompton gives you wheels
Wherever you go, you can take this thing. On the bus, on the sailboat, the train to Portland or Vancouver, in the trunk of your Lyft, and when you get home you can keep it out of your way or display it like the piece of art it is. I've had a road bike for a decade before I switched to a brompton. I was worried about the ride and the gear range and I've been pleasantly surprised in both respects. I've added a rear rack, some ergo grips, and lights and love how large the bag and accessory ecosystem is. This thing is a super solid entry into the world of folding bikes and I could not be more chuffed.
