i love my brompton and is my favorite bicycle after getting and riding a dahon picollo and bike friday pocket llama. the wheels on the piccolo's wheels are too small for a fast ride. the bike friday rides better with 20" wheels but doesn't fold small enough. (better for touring which i hardly do). for my needs having the front bag and the bromptons neat small fold allows for the best multi modal transportation experience without spandex.
i hope to see the company flourish with other models particularly the electric version coming soon in a year or 2.
