brompton bike. has anyone got one?

[Brianfromdorset]

Although expensive and primarily ascoiated with riding in the capital I just wondered has anyone got one of these terrific Swiss army knives of the bicycle world?
Id like one myself. Even though I live in dorset !
the thought of a form of transportation that costs nothing to run and that you can tuck under your arm appeals to me.

One of my friend's at work has a folding bike but nothing quite in that range
It's nice to have something to aspire to though Brian - in my case it's an Aston DB9

Yes missellie I've had a look on ebay and even second hand ones are £££!!!!
British engineering at its best though.
Ill stick with walking for now!

Ill stick with walking for now!

I read that as "walk with a stick" - I hope not.

Beerless had a folding bike (not a Brompton) years ago and he completely trashed it, it was just too small for him really.

I think he only ever folded it up once when getting a bus home and said it was such a faff he would never bother again.

Crikey!

For those kind of prices I'd expect an engine

Coincidentally I have been looking at electric bikes recently. Also oooer on the ££££££!

They're really nice aren't they.

The only thing is hat having small wheels, they need more pedaling !!

My hubby as an electric bike, he got it to test to see if they would sell through his business. He thinks its great but I think a little expensive, he didn't buy anymore.
