Interesting, thanks for your input! Can you compare the riding comfort of the Brompton with the Birdy? I'm just concerned that since we don't have much need for the universally lauded Brompton fold, its other features might not be worth the price tag. But if it's a pleasure to ride even setting aside the convenience of the fold, then maybe I should give it more consideration.
