The Brompton bicycle isn’t a new invention. The first designs were made in 1975, and it went into production in 1981 in a format that is easily recognisable today. The design has had iterative changes over the years to make improvements. There are lots on the street in London, where it’s built; perhaps due its useful and easy small-fold which makes it ideal for small apartments and gives it its multi-modal capabilities.
It offers a stable and well-balanced ride, proving extremely versatile in any multi-modal tour where some form of transportation is an option.
Is Brompton good for long distances?
It's a common misconception that folding bikes don't perform well for long distances but our staff, as well as the greater Brompton community, have dispelled this myth countless times. If you are planning on touring with your Brompton, we have a few tried and true recommendations to make the journey more comfortable.
A Brompton folding bike is compact enough that you can fit under your desk at work, and light enough that you can easily carry it on a busy train or tube without booking, or jump in a taxi if your plans change.
Are Brompton bikes difficult to ride?
If you've never ridden a Brompton before, you might need to get used to the narrow handlebar and stalk-like stem, but when you've worked out how to get the most from legs and arms, you realise that this bike can take on long, steep climbs with ease.
