Here in Canada bicycle shops are almost empty during the Winter, then first sign of warm Spring weather and the service counter gets slammed 3 deep.

I used search to find and read all posts on the folding bikes board that have Brompton in the title, and it helped me get to know a bit more about them. I'm looking forward to tearing up the bike trails here in Toronto with mine
Very nice! But why wait 3 months? All you need is for the snow to melt "enough" and you can be on your way! (Peter from NYCE Wheels has a video of him riding round in NY City in the winter... not sure how you managed...)
