Thinking about doing this in September. Not sure about riding this far on a Brompton?

    Whatever you can think of - it's been done on a Brompton.

    I know of people tackling 1600km Randonnees on Bromptons.

    Personally, I've only done 200km on a Brompton - I have an S-type and the lack of hand positions was an issue. I would put bar ends on it I were to do it again - it fair old smashed my arms up.

    A bike's a bike - make it comfy and you can ride pretty much any distance on any bike.
  • Thanks for the advice. Probably more comfortable than my Road Bike. Good excuse to get one anyhow as I've always quiet liked them. Probably handy to put into the boot of the car if I'm off somewhere...
