    Love the video, there's a classic moment at 2:11 :shock:

    Just ordered a Brompton on C2W, looking forward to having it (Kona will still be main commute, Brompton is handy for trips that include public transport)

    Mrs OSK got her Brompton a few weeks ago (a purple one like in the video). She's already addicted to Commuting on it :)

    Currently very tempted to buy a Brommy, mainly to take on holidays.

    Was that the famous 'Girl on a Pink Brompton' ?

    What a treacherous ad - instead of celebrating the other cyclist who's not a wimp who *chooses* to take the train a few miles when he could ride, it belittles her. If she's late it's because she left late, nothing to do with the traffic.

    And was he lucky that his unnecessary bit of train travel was quick and easy, while the blonde's wasn't? Hardly a fair sample size.

    What a smug, annoying ad for a smug, annoying brand.

    What other British bike brand is right at the top of its niche? Maybe a bit smug but it seems the only way to advertise these days - ask BMW.

    I think its rather good that we make the best folding bikes. Certainly looks more convincing than the pool Dahons at work. We should stick up for what we do well and be proud.

    Agree with you about the ad in general though. They also forgot to mention how much extra money he was wasting by using a travel card when he had no need to.
