Thoughts

Why is my Brompton so comfortable? It really feels like it shouldn’t be — 16" x 35mm tires and narrow bars with barely any backsweep. But it is! I wonder if I could go multi-modal touring on it with some fairly long bike distances. I still want to try riding it to my day job office in the South Bay off the 8 at Bayshore & Tunnel Ave.

And it climbs quite well! For having an easiest gear of 25 gear inches.

Also I passed by a very British™ sounding person on my ride today (who was riding and sheperding two kids on bikes) and she told her kids to “say hi to the Brompton” and told me she missed her Brompton so much.
