Brompton

The folding bike icon since 1975. Handmade in London, ultra-compact, folds in 15 seconds. The ideal companion for commuters.

It all began in 1975, at a London window overlooking the Brompton Oratory. There, Andrew Ritchie drew a bike designed to disappear once its job was done: not just to ride, but to fold into a compact object you can take anywhere. Where others struggled for decades, Brompton pulled off the hardest feat in folding bikes: a hinge that never develops play, and a frame that takes thousands of folds without weakening. All assembled by hand, in London.

Owning a Brompton means real freedom of movement in the city. It goes with people who switch from train to office to café, then fold it under a table without bothering anyone. From the classic model to the electric folding bike, it is the tool for everyone to whom every square metre counts, in a flat, a lift or a packed train.

We know the Brompton hinge by hinge. That is why so many people in Brussels trust us with the servicing and adjustment of these little machines. Thinking of buying one? As an urban bike shop in Brussels, we take the time to show you the fold, the options and the adjustments that make all the difference every day.
