Thanks Guys. You're all pretty much right, I really ought to take better care of it.

What are the best "maintenance" essentials for a Bromtpon?

Also I have a few questions with regards to drying the bike after a ride in the rain ...

1) When you say towel .. do you mean a bathroom towel, like the one I use to dry my face with in the mornings?
2) How dry do you get your bike? Sure I can get the main steel frame dry, but mostly the water get in between the bolts and joints ... etc and that is where I see rust. If I want them dry (I mean proper dry), that will take 30 minutes to an hour for me, I seriously can't be bothered :/ I wake up at 05:30, get to work for 08:00 then get back home for 19:20. Long, tiresome day
3) Is there a best way to clean a Brompton .. or does each do it his/her way and they're all equally good?

Thanks
