How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
The OP came down like a wolf in the cold .
And in Waitrose store his bike he won’t fold.
And the sheen on his Lycra resembled fine lard
But he got rightly fucked off by the security guard…
His language was something like straight outa Compton .
‘Piss off vile peasant cos my bike’s a Brompton’.
And he logged on to Urban to share his big whinge.
Because he was entitled as his bike had a hinge.
(Apologies to Byron- although that’ll teach him for charging £16 for a cheese burger…)

Not only that, but you can save lots by buying it via the bike2work scheme thing.
There are.

St Katherine's Docks Waitrose won't let me bring in my 1:1 scale map of St Katherine's Dcoks Waitrose. I took it unfolded as it was late and I was tired, but a security guard came up to me

Maybe not if you actually work at Waitrose, as according to the only Glassdoor review, their employees apparently aren't kept suitably informed of the scheme. Obviously their anti-bike discrimination knows no bounds

Hello
True. I'd like to thank everyone in here for subsidising my Brompton.

As editor reminds me, there is another way to ride a Brompton like you own it Home - Brompton Bike Hire

What would happen if you folded it and put it in a shopping trolley?

When I had a folding bike (not a Brompton) I did that sometimes. Think it's fairly common to do.

Is it not moped gangs mugging people for their Bromptons?

Been thinking of getting a folding bike.. the BTWIN 500 seems to be the best of the cheap bunch..
20 Inch FOLDING BIKE btwin 500
Didn't realise there were so many options with Bromptons... has anyone got one with the low or mid handlebars.. Also I understand that its best to carry luggage on the front of them..

I'm also interested in this. Would help with some of the longer walks for work but also a bit of exercise; I've never got a bike because of the impossibility of where to store it. This changes that.

Given that TFL has a ban on electric scooters and unicycles due to their fire risk, I wonder if they might extend the ban to electric Bromptons if they become commonplace?
TFL policy only mentions electric scooters and not electric bikes. Bikes have restrictions for other reasons but not because they're electric afaics.

Mind you a bottom of the range electric Brompton looks to be in excess of £3k. So I imagine not commonplace enough also.

tbf use of personal electric scooters are illegal in all but the most unlikely situations, so maybe that's part of the reason for TfL not wanting to encourage their use.
