soon to be Brompton owner

[Rural halfwit]

Well the Bromoton is on order and I'm soon to be the proud owner of one. My reason being is I will also be using public transport. Looking forward to it!

Brilliant. You may need a cover or bag to disguise the folded bike for some bus companies: the driver is often told, "No bikes", even if folded ones are permitted. Also, a cover will prevent passenger complaints about dirt transfer!

Thanks Brommyboy I plan to get one of those bags from Ikea

I opted the M3L in Orange as all the ones in my neck of the woods are black so wanted something different. Living in the flat fens I do not have that many hills to contend with.
For my needs I'll be looking at saddle luggage options or maybe just hang a ruck sack off it.

I can strongly recommend the front bag (mine is the S bag as I have the lower bars). Good space, and makes the bike handle a lot better. Any form of rear baggage impedes the fold, and rucksacks make me sweat

Wot he said. The carrier block and luggage are bloody brilliant.

I have not found anything on offer that allows SPD usage and still leaves the bike small enough to fit behind the seats on South Wets Trains. I have been surprisingly ok using the standard pedals with narrow trainers. I would like to be able to pull the left pedal to the top at junctions, but coping fine as it is
