About Brompton Bicycle
Brompton is the largest bicycle manufacturer in the United Kingdom. Sold in over 50 countries around the world, it is estimated that about 400,000 have hit the roads since the first Brompton bike was made in the 1970s. In the U.S., Bromptons are sold through a network of independent bike stores to customers who value design, quality and functionality.
Hand-crafted in the UK since 1975, every Brompton bike gives its users the freedom to move around their city however and wherever they please. Weighing between 20 and 28 pounds with the ability to fold up to a third of their size, the Brompton is perfect for those that live, work or play in cities and can easily be transported by bus, train, car or plane. One Brompton takes 6.2 tons less carbon than a car to make and 42 folded Bromptons can fit in the space it takes to park one car.
