Ok,  you know you love them. I've seen you eyeing those Brompton races when nobody was looking, or that sweet electric Dehan...

Borrowed Yang's this week; the thing rides like a razor scooter more than a bike. So much fun.

An old riding buddy of mine loves his Brompton.  When he got it, he could dis/assemble in 15 seconds or so and htought he could cut off another 4 or 5 with practice.

Bromptons are indeed great commute and bar bikes since you can stash/check them indoors safely. Theft deterrent depends on the fact that nearly nobody knows what the hell they're looking at and/or have no idea how to transform one even if they cut the unlock.

I used to commute on mine exclusively for a year and it was great. It was only when I wanted to have a full rack and panniers that I stopped. I honestly don't know why I bother with full sized bikes when I'm not in roadie/Lycra mode.

I believe this goes here. Yang, I hope to see your submission in somewhere truly interesting in Queens.

Flushing Main Street is always interesting.  If I could find the time to actually do this would be a miracle though...
