I ’d love a Brompton, but use this at the moment, I work away from home ,stay in a van and use my Carreras folding bike to cycle the five miles to work, it’s ok ,does the job and cost £120 second hand....

Being in America, for a sec I wondered why your bike was driving. If it fits you, works as it should and you enjoy it it's all good.

In the front for night stops, in the back while travelling😁

It’s a Carrera folding bike, they sell them in Halfords.

Now with Brooks fitted.

It's a Dahon Speed P8. I have red reflective tape on the bike, so it covers the branding. Safety before vanity. Too bad I have so many issues with the internal cable routing and rear derailleur.

Here's my Bickerton 'Pilot' which I've owned for a few weeks, used mainly for my short journey to work but hope to extend the range of uses. Upcoming mods will be a change of rack/bag and some barends.

That bike is gorgeous! Love the blue! Where did you buy it from? I'm a newbie to bike shopping and can't seem to find Bickertons easily for sale from a 'google'.

This is the best bike I've ever owned (Brompton M6L 2018), at the top of Hardknott Pass in February this year!

That's mighty impressive! It's on my bucket list to get up there on any sort of bike but I'd never considered doing it on a folder ...until now. Like the photo too, it's very evocative.

Brompton M6L 2018, few mods, 44T for this trip!

I'm not going to lie, it hurt! Should not have tried to ride across the wet cattle-grid at the bottom as nearly binned it right there. Had to stop to remove rain cape quarter way up to prevent boil in the bag. Mostly out of the saddle, otherwise front wheel keeps coming off the ground getting any power down. Need strong forearms to hang onto the brakes on the way down Wrynose.
