Cycling...
==========

Recently we have got a Brompton bike. It is my wife's bike but I'm have
been using if, too (at least until by own Brompton will arrive from the
UK).  We  have decided  to  buy  a basic  (non-titanium,  non-electric)
version of the bike because of cost and serviceability concerns.Thus at
the  moment we  have  a  H6R one  in  the  "Papyrus White/Black"  color
combination. It  looks good (much  better than I expected  from product
pictures, actually).  I have  added some lights  here (a  Brompton back
light and a cheap front one - it will be here until I will get a better
one) and  some small protectors. We  also have decided that  it will be
nice  to have  a main  frame  protection so  have got  a leather  cover
for  the  main tube  from  the  Souma [2].  Well,  it  have had  to  be
knitted!But we finished this procedure  on Saturday (it was easier than
I anticipated and the Souma provided us with a link to video manual).

At the  moment I think  that the bike  is prepared Brompton  enough for
regular use.I have been using it for  my trips to work and also already
used it for some shopping (~18 km). As we have just one Brompton now we
have to use it in combination with  a mountain bike and we are changing
during the trip. I must look funny but such approach works so far.

It is  interesting to use a  mountain bike after the  Brompton. Then it
feels like  a massive motorbike.  It is interesting that  changing from
the mountain bike to the Brompton make  no problem to me (I do not feel
noticeably less confident on the Brompton to my surprise). I'm going to
investigate this in better detail..

In  I  hope that  my  own  Brompton  will  eventually be  produced  and
delivered to me one day...
