Welcome to the fold!

A community for all Bromptonites of the Fediverse!

The Brompton is a folding bicycle which is known for its unique design and compact folded size. The 3-part fold transforms the bike into an incredibly small locked package in no time.

Made in London, UK - loved all over the world. <3

Pictures from a trip flying with our two Bromptons in checked luggage, one in the B&H Foldon Hard case (https://www.b-w-international.com/en/bike/cases/b-w-foldon.case) and one in the Radical Design Cyclone IV Chubby trailer (https://www.radicaldesign.com/cyclone-iv-chubby)

The Chubby looks great, thanks for the pictures. A useful addition would be inline wheels on the lower back edge, so the case could be pulled like a suitcase within the airport — version V perhaps?

Yeah, I've definitely wished for that, it's a pain to carry around since it's both heavy and awkward. There is actually already a pair of axle holes on the back - you can put the wheels there instead of the center for pulling the trailer by hand, but you can't do that if the wheels are packed away. You might be able to jerry rig inline skate wheels with the same axle without waiting for a new version, but I haven't gotten around to trying that.
