Bromptons are not only one of the smallest folding and best riding folding bikes in the world, they are also some of the most versatile. You can choose how many gears you want, your handlebar type, and even the color of your bike.

Boardwalk Cruising: Cedar Creek Bikeway to Jones Beach

No doubt about it, a folding bike like the Brompton is a great way to commute in a city like Manhattan - fast, lightweight, capable of longer distance rides, and folds small enough to take on planes, trains, and automobiles.  It's also a great way to get the %&$$# out the city for a second...

Brompton Carry On?!

At one time or another, we've all meditated on those very same age old questions: "Can I fit my Brompton bike in the over head compartment on an airplane?  How will I get it through security?  Will there be extra fees?!!

Some great accessory packages for Brompton Bicycles

Whenever Spring rolls around I start to think about prettying my bike up for the season. You know, getting it into that tip top shape where you're happy to get on every morning as you ride to work on your Brompton bike.

We'll one big part of enjoying a bike is getting it setup just the way you like it. That's why I've made it easy by setting up some cool Brompton accessory packages that include everything you need to have a totally deluxe Brompton folding bike.

Brompton sales up 88%, is it just our good looks?

Brompton folding bikes are getting more and more popular every year it seems. Our sales skyrocketed last year thanks to a lot of hard work and a great product. There's another factor too: working with an amazing company like Brompton Bicycle Limited.

The Brompton folding bike is one of the best on the market and the word is getting out there fast. There are lots of good ways to learn more but the best is probably our video custom Brompton bike builder. That way you can know everything about the bike before buying.

Fenders keep your Brompton bike from being a clothes rack

I got soaked on my Brompton bike today! My morning commute left me with a whole wardrobe of wet clothes. It ended up looking more like a clothes rack than a folding bicycle! It's important to consider whether riding in the rain will factor into your folding bicycle purchase.

With a Brompton folding bicycle you have the option of adding fenders to the bike when ordering. I would recommend this to 99% of our customers with the only exception being those who will seldom get on the seat and take hold of the handlebars. Think about puddles! No one wants a wet butt. :) So, when you build a custom Brompton bike be sure to add fenders - or not (your choice!).
