To be honest, there are so many Bromptons here in Brussels these days that it's not at all special to see another one, so there's rarely much acknowledgement when you do. The rare time I've stopped to chat with a Brompton owner, though, they've always been enthusiastic about their bike!Will Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-18736417764402316182012-10-21T01:54:01.603+01:002012-10-21T01:54:01.603+01:00Many thanks for leaving a comment Will.

The thing is, I'm not even trying! I just find that the Brompton makes it effortless (I have six gears). OK, I'll admit to sometimes putting in a tiny bit more effort until I'm just behind them, then I will relax and put on my nonchalant face as I go past :-)Will Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-42671605040782786862012-09-25T20:25:22.398+01:002012-09-25T20:25:22.398+01:00Many thanks Mohd.
