I've wanted one of these for ages... and since I wrote my car off a couple of months ago, I was in need of something to get my within striking distance of public transport for my Monday-Friday office job.
So this is my overview of Brompton's subsciption service... and while it does seem like everyone is doing a subsciption service for everything now, I'm quite happy with this one.
If you want to learn more:
bromptonsubscr...
This video is not sponsored, nor does it contain paid promotion. I'm using my own money to pay for the subscription and received no discount for working in the trade. Bike shops are at the core of everything in the world of cycling and I would always advocate for using your local bike shop first.

In the year 2019, mostly known for other problems, I went to a Copenhagen Dealer and found one Brompton for the vacation money sawed! They had several colors and models ready to ride, so I never got a chance to take it out of a box myself, but I could see what I intended to buy, and found a by then, Top SuperlightM6LXBromton, in the Special, "Flamepainted"! It was absurdly expensive and since then I have changed most loose parts, bolts and nuts to titanium, for even less weight, but still looking mostly Standard, "Black Version"! No reason to advertise "Expensive Parts" on top! But my dear and similar age wife didn't find it fitting for our common vacation destination on Malta, though I tried to tell her that the contraption had been built to ride in the wrong side, so I was never allowed to bring it down! As now 76 I have used it here at home in Denmark, and also up absurd hills, fitting for its low gears, which I didn't know for what use I had till then, but had to walk on top! Finn. Denmark

Cyclescheme is also available where you own the bike after a year. Reliant on your employer being part of it, which a lot are.

I love the government salary sacrifice initiatives and what it’s done for getting people on bikes, but some of the fine print stuff I find frustrating. Ownership of the bike might not technically transfer for years, unless you leave the company and have to pay a market depreciation value amount. Not an issue if you know you’ll be in your job long term. However, the opportunity to not just save on your bike, but your helmet and all your gear is really appealing, and for businesses- great for employee retention. You’ve given me an idea for another video, so thank you!

@@JoshFosterBikesAndEngineering I bought my Brompton via this method and yes you have to pay X amount when you leave the company or a few years after purchase but it does not rise with inflation. I did save £200 overall.

@@JoshFosterBikesAndEngineering What is not to like?! It has been in hibernation for the Winter so now I will start to go shopping with it again as well as use the local velodrome. I have just ordered an ebike conversion kit for it as my knees are not what they used to be. So, hopefully, that will be installed in time for this year's Ride London. Have you fallen off yet, at low speed?

@@slicedpage fair point! I've loved it for shopping so far, velodrome riding on a Brompton? I only know of Herne Hill and Preston park. Assuming it's an outdoor one?

Indeed! Luckily you can wheel it around with you or carry it into the shop using the wheels on the underside.
