  Dude, you can only ride that bike in “TWEED”! Didn’t the manual tell you that somewhere! LOL!

  Multi-modal yes, but a replacement for a comfortable big standard bike – no. I have several bikes, the Brompton being one of them. I still prefer the comfort and low rolling resistance of the big steel bike, though the Brompton does fit on transit nicely. And like a small dog, it has the advantage of being more welcome indoors, so locking is less often a concern.

  I can see that a folding bike would be a perfect solution for my commute – 22 miles to work, then the bus or train home (because it’s quicker and I have to collect my son from daycare before 6pm) but I’m not sure I want to be riding a Brompton that far on a daily basis. Perhaps an Airnimal Chameleon, but like all bikes and bike parts they are stupidly expensive in Australia (if the importer is even still bringing them in!).

  [...] “drank the Kool-Aid” so to speak. It’s been a load of fun though, comparing our little M3Ls to the tricked out belt drive Dahon Mu XL Sport that Thor loaned us, as well as evaluating these [...]
