Description
About Brompton:
Brompton is much more than a bicycle; it's a portal to urban freedom, a means to move around a city differently and to see it with fresh eyes. Over the past 50 years, we've become globally recognised as a British design icon, renowned for our craftsmanship, durability and sustainability. Small wheels with big ideals. Portable, foldable, unstoppable.
At the heart of our success are the ingenuity and resilience embodied by our founder. In 1975, against all the odds, Andrew Ritchie designed a folding bike like no other. After years of rejection and ridicule, his invention found its place in the fabric of urban society. 1.2 million bikes later, with a retail footprint covering nearly 50 markets and with thousands of fan communities dotted around the world, Brompton is no laughing matter.
These days, our commitment to creating world class products remains unwavering but it's accompanied by a broader aim of creating greener, safer, cycle-friendly cities where people can feel more connected, more present, more alive.
