How far can a brompton take you?

this month's FNRttC will be graced by the self-styled 'Bromettes', fresh from Bromptoning from London to Paris on 3 speeds. I in 6 hills await them........

I don't know, to me SPDs on a Brommie just feels wrong. For me, it's all about the 'hop on, hop off' experience: tuck your trousers into your socks and be on your way. Having to change into cycling shoes doesn't seem quite how these things should be done. :-)

I do agree to an extent, I just think the pedal on the Brompton are not as good as they could be. The saddle also used to problematic. They've sorted that out now.
