I have had my Brompton for four years, and it is the best purchase I have ever made. It's been remarkably reliable (touch wood) and as it goes with me everywhere, a thief would have to get past me to get to it. I can also take it with me on the Overground (unlike a full size bike).
Admittedly, I'm more village vicar than Bradley Wiggins, but I still get around short journeys faster than I would on any other mode of transport. For mixed mode journeys, they're unsurpassable. And no I'm not on commission (though I damned well should be). |
