Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

If you haven’t got the front luggage mount block, get one. Just a brilliant luggage system. And the bags are brilliant. My bag gets used all the time, regardless of whether I’m on the bike.

Yep it comes with the front block fitted … will resist the bags for now as MrsG has two so I can borrow for the time being.

I’ve read about the issues of trying to lock up but think I’d just take it with me at all times or avoid going anywhere I can’t.

Another one who loves my Brompton

Be prepared for little bruises at the tops of your thighs if you plan to carry it for any length of time

I've only just spotted this thread and love mine too. It is mainly my town bike, for cafes, pubs and restaurants although I did one night away by train/bike on it which was fun. I quickly learned that it's easier to unfold and push it than to carry it any distance if possible!
