Brompton

It all began in 1975, at a London window overlooking the Brompton Oratory. There, Andrew Ritchie designed a bicycle meant to disappear once its job was done: not just to ride, but to fold into a compact object that could be slipped into any space. Where others had struggled for decades, Brompton succeeded in the most difficult challenge of folding bike design: a hinge that doesn’t loosen, a frame that withstands thousands of folds without faltering. All assembled by hand in London.

Owning a Brompton means gaining true freedom of movement in the city. It’s the perfect companion for those who hop on the train, head to the office, and stop by a café, then fold it up under a table without bothering anyone. From the classic model to the electric folding bike, it’s the go-to choice for anyone for whom every square foot counts—whether in an apartment, an elevator, or a crowded train car.

We know the Brompton inside and out. That’s why so many Brussels residents trust us with the maintenance and adjustments of these little machines. Thinking of buying one? As a city bike shop in Brussels, we take the time to show you how to fold it, as well as the options and adjustments that make all the difference in your daily life.
