In my opinion, they're both great bikes, and they'll both work fine for 10-20 mile weekend rides. Brompton folds smaller, Tikit rides better. If your rides are for fitness, I think you'll be happier with the Tikit. It's a sportier bike in terms of riding position, gearing, etc.

If you're serious about touring later on, then Tikit is the only choice, in my opinion. Rides better, less proprietary parts if you need service on the road. More frame sizes for proper fit. Much more gearing options. No contest.
