New book on Brompton Bicycle published!

The 160 page book has chapters on the early history of folding bikes, the various stages of the Brompton's development (including Brompton designer and founder Andrew Ritchie's many struggles to get the bike into production), Brompton 'specials' as well as a lengthy section on using and maintaining a Brompton.

Folding bike aficionado Tony Hadland writes of Brompton Bicycle in a recent review 'The story of the Brompton's evolution is a heroic one, full of fascination both in the technical ingenuity displayed, and in the human drama involved. For a private individual successfully to design and market a new bicycle is a huge and daunting task.......That Andrew Ritchie succeeded is truly remarkable and you will need to read this book to understand just how he did it.'

Written by Brompton expert David Henshaw, illustrated in full colour and with a foreword by popular science presenter and Brompton rider Adam Hart-Davis, the book contains everything you need to enjoy this incredible bike to the full.
