I do. A lot of miles on the Colnago and a lot of journeys on the Brompton. Now that Her Nibs has got a Brompton I'm going to lead a double double life - we can go out to friends, or to a bar a deux, and then go for rides in the countryside or around Regents Park at the weekend. Commuting will be a mix of both - if we're going out after work it'll be the Bromptons, or if there's a chance of rain in the evening it will be Brompton out, tube and Brompton back.
Neither is better than the other. There's just lots of things that you can do on a Brompton and lots of things you can do on a road bike
