Brompton posing...

[Melvil]

Cycling with my son along the promenade at Portobello this weekend. I had to go very slow since my son doesn't even have pedals on his bike yet. Trying some manoeuvres and Brompton-esque flick turns etc. I cycle past a guy who says 'Ive got to get me a folding bike like that.'

Cue lots of internal pride and thinking what a poser I am.

Anyway - do you pose with your B? Show it off to the crowds?

I have evolved a certain way of shaking it where it all unfolds and goes from crumpled metal to bike shaped in about 2 seconds. I'm very pleased with it.
No-one else seems to notice though.

I actually pulled a full wheelie on mine!

I only get chased around the store by over-excited supermarket security guards with mine...

By riding no hands for minutes at a time.

Woah! I can't even do it for long enough to get a glove on!

Me neither, and I'm usually quite good at no-hands.
I have taken my Brommie round a skatepark. My dad told me to grow up.

I like to show it off by fitting bigger wheels and frame so people can see it more easily. Unfortunately this means it no longer folds.
