This link is to a review from the London Cyclist News letter dated 2011, and its typical pro Brommie hype. (would you expect anything else....long yawn)
However what is interesting is the quality of the comments after the "review". A much more balanced analysis from the target market.
Let me understand what you're claiming - that the comments people posted to the website
after the review constitute some sort of "balanced analysis"?
No. They unequivocally do not form any sort of valid analysis. They are:
- anonymous or unverified as to the commenter
- represent anecdotal or individual experiences
- have no statistical credibility
- has no survey control in terms of response rates or demographic make up
- have not been reviewed for technical, logical, or comprehensive quality
I am neither supporting or criticizing a Brompton bike with this post.
The comments simply represent the opinions of whoever decided to write in; just as what is going in this forum. Note that the review itself of the Brompton is also not much better either in terms of being a credible analysis, but at least we know who wrote the article.
Take the comments therefore for what they are: an assortment of individual opinions based on selected individual experiences - do what you want with them, but don't assign them false authority.
