Brompton 2016 M3R Black with front carrier block

Black Brompton folding bike model M3R (M=handlebar type, 3=3 gears, R=with mudguards and rack) with front carrier block

The Brompton is perfect for all but extreme types of riding from the daily commute to popping to the shops / bank / cafe to accompanying the kids on their ride to school to touring in a canal boat or keeping in the back of your car for when you want to get a quick ride in!

Folding up to such a small size means it is accepted on just about all public transport, can be stored under your desk when at work or in a small cupboard when at home.

The addition of a rack over the M3L gives extra stability when folded (e.g. when on a train) and the possibility to carry your pizza home while keeping it flat.
