Ernie is my black P6R model Brompton!
quirky- yes
small- yes
ugly- yes (to a lot of people)
useful- extremely!
foldable- definately!
fast- oh yesssss!!
I get a lot of weird looks from people initially when riding Ernie but when people understand the endless capabilities of this legendary piece of transport they tend to change their minds or not acknowledge it’s existance.
Hopefully this blog will give you both an insight into history and also an understanding of commuting on a Brompton- the best of both worlds!
Here is the Brompton Website
and the Online Catalogue if you would like to have a peruse through all the magnificent bikes, equipment and all the pretty colours
