You should cross-post this to !brompton@discuss.tchncs.de ;)

Nice! I got a Tern attachment that will let me tow a bike by attaching the fork if I take the front wheel off. I've had enough occasions where it would have been useful that I finally decided to go for it. But I haven't put it to use yet.

I've been fantasizing about a Brompton for a while. Some day!

Brompton is absolutely a game changer for multimodal transportation if your not taking kids.

My wife and I both have bromptons, and I recently got this very secure, but inexpensive seat post child carrier that works with the brompton. The only problem is it screws on and I cannot lower my seat with it, so it interferes with thr fold a bit. I'm going to experiment with quick release seat post clamps on it, which I think should be quite secure (same company has a similar seat post, it just comes with QR seatpost clamps and is less available and more expensive)

Nice. The feet rest on the cargo bike are slotted bilaterally so I can put a bike in there. I still strap them on a bit when I do for security, and have on done it with kids bikes so far

Yo dawg, I heard you like bikes...

Hey now, we all love bikes, but no need for the drive-by on walking.

My B. I love walking and actually enjoy it. Just trying to not look like the serf that I actually am.

Funny headline, wanted to be efficient with my time. The world and people that live on it could certainly use more walking.
