I'm planning on riding the Wild Atlantic Way and I have two bike options. The Brompton would be very convenient as I have to fly from and to California as well as from London to Cork and Londonderry to London. But I'm worried about getting repairs if I have a mechanical. I only see the one...

I know a lot of us on here love the countryside we cycle in and detest litter and fly tipping, so please enjoy this van driver's scolding of somebody he found dumping a mattress by the road. An uncensored, unbleeped version is available and is even better but I'll let you seek that one out for...
