Commuting can really be one of the horrors of modern life - whether it’s a man eating a scotch egg for breakfast on the bus, a tube train packed with people who have evidently mislaid their shower gel, or you’ve been stuck in traffic for so long you’re running out of ways to relieve the boredom.
But commuting doesn’t have to be hell.
Use a Brompton bike and you’ll find the freedom to avoid Tube delays, traffic jams and slow-running buses.
It’s safe and fast, yet folds easily and quickly into a compact and portable package, so you can take it anywhere you like.
And unlike a fixed frame bike, because it fits under your desk while you work, it’ll still be there when you come to ride home!
