Whether it's riding to the shops to pick up a pint of milk / loaf of bread, carrying your laptop to the office, or long distance touring - Brompton bags give you plenty of choices in terms of style / size and colour.
the Brompton bags mount on a front carrier block - a design which means that the bag doesn’t interfere with the bike handling
We have always considered the Brompton bags to be pretty valuable, but with the Brompton Electric folding bike they become essential
Initially there was a choice of two bags - the small standard bag and the large optional extra bag.
In 2022 a new basket bag was also launched for the Brompton electric - giving a choice of three bags
Each of these has a frame which carries the battery which in turn powers the electric motor

It could be a padded bag for protecting your Brompton on an aeroplane, or a cover allowing you to take your Brompton on Eurostar or local buses and trams
Choosing the correct protection for your Brompton really depends upon the transport method and therefore the level of protection required
Baggage handlers are not renowned for careful handling of luggage / bags - so if you are taking your Brompton away for a holiday - they deserve one too you know! - then you will be looking for something protective
Although not listed here, the Brompton cardboard box - the one that it came with from the Brompton factory is designed for shipping - we have used these to transport our Brompton bikes by air - with no problem so far. They are especially good for one way trips - just unpack the bike and put the box in the recycling - job done! You should be able to pick one up free of charge from your local Brompton shop - or collect from us in Chobham - just 25 minutes by train (and a short bus journey) from London Waterloo station
We have travelled with Bromptons far afield using both the B&W Foldon folding box and the B&W Brompton hard case (now also confusingly called Foldon)
The B&W Foldon box has several advantages over the B&W Brompton hard case:
The B&W Brompton hard case also has its advantages:
Both of these boxes we ship direct to you from our supplier
We think that the new Brompton travel bag could be used for air travel - but would be best for those light aircraft journeys where the handling is a bit more careful
The Eurostar bike policy:

Says you can take your Brompton as long as it is completely covered - we have used the new Brompton bike cover and the older QCOV model which also acted as a small saddle bag, with no problem. We've also seen people use IKEA Dimpa bags and even the blue Ikea shopping bag
We tend to cover our bikes using the Brompton cover - it just looks cleaner when you are checking in - some hotels don't like dirty bikes in their rooms (even if it's no worse than taking in a pushchair / wheelchair)
We think they rank as shown below:
The Brompton front luggage collection all begins with the front luggage carrier block this attaches to the front of the Bromptons main frame.
There are two holes pre made on the front of the frame ready for you to install the front carrier block if you don't already have one!
The fact that the bag is attached directly to the frame and not the handlebars means that transporting stuff with your Brompton doesn't affect the handling / steering as the bag doesn't interfere with the ride (and unlike a rucksack, you don't get a sweaty back!)
Brompton bags come in a variety of sizes / options. They are available as an option on new bikes from the Brompton factory and also available as an aftermarket option here
In 2022 Brompton introduced two new bags
In 2020 Brompton introduced two new ranges - essentially splitting the bags into three distinct ranges
This replaces the classic T / Touring bag, and has lots of pockets / storage - ideat when bikepacking on the Brompton. It was initially introduced along side the Brompton Explore special edition bike
The Brompton equivalent to a folding basket - an open top bag great for popping to she shops for milk / fuit or veg. Also available in limited edition Liberty print fabric
This bag replaces the C bag - ideal for use to / from the office - including a large padded laptop sleeve
this was the smallest of the bags - designed to be less high so as to be compatible with the S-type handlebars. It now has an exchangeable front flap - so you can customise it to match your mood / outfit!
this was based on the Caradice bag - slightly larger than the S-bag
this is a larger touring bag with a roll top for plenty of storage. The C-bag and the T-bag use the same size frame
All of the above bags have a removable frame with a carrying handle, a rain/showerproof cover and carrying strap
this is more basic - it still attaches to the front carrier block - and is great for popping to the shops to pick up groceries. It's based on the wicker basket idea but made of fabric - with no top to it
In 2010 Brompton introduced the O-Bag in conjunction with Ortlieb, giving them the first really waterproof option (this was updated in 2016 with cosmetic changes to the logo). The range of O-bag colours changes year on year
There is also a smaller version of the O-Bag, imaginatively named the Mini O-bag
First introduced in 2016 and still going strong in 2019 - these small bags are available in a wide range of colours and attach to the Brompton (or Brooks saddle) using the loops on the back of the saddle
