My First Brompton

27/09/2008

Just picked it up today, and so far I’m very happy with it. It’ll make my commute to/from work a lot easier and faster.

    Al, I’m so jealous. I have a monster commute; 45 minutes in the morning and about an hour in the evening plus, my daughter rides with me to school. In fact, I’ve just started a blog about the crazy things we see. (http://www.zmikez.com/blog/the_i85_drive) …of course, now that I’m prepared to write about (and photograph) it, all the nutters are in hiding. Good luck with the bike. What do you do about rain?

    I don’t know really as I don’t have a “normal” bike :)

    I guess there is some difference, especially over rough terrain, but as I’ll mostly be using it to get to and from the train station and work, I doubt I’ll notice that much. The benefit of it being storable at home in a little spot by the door, and similarly on a train is a big bonus.

    Does it ride just like a normal bike? Do the tiny wheels have any effect on how it feels?

    In answer to where my laptop goes, see this blog post http://popey.com/I_Love_My_Ogio_Ubuntu_Laptop_Bag :)

    It’s faster to cycle than walk, and easier to cycle for 10 mins than walk for 30.

    Nice! Where will you put the laptop. I can understand why you are happy when you commute, but I don’t understand why faster and sure not why easier. I’m just mean. Way to go, be green!

    It depends. They have a few different models with slightly differing specifications, but they start at around 600 GBP.

    I don’t like the look of them and generally find most people that have them are attention seekers.
