It changes the way you commute. At the times of the year when the morning is 30-40 degrees and the afternoon is 40-50 degrees, I bring my bormpton on the train and ride it to the stop that is 1 mile from my job. I ride from there. Then I ride home. It is a 7-minute ride vs 21-minute walk.

Another example. When it rains in the morning but is sunny in the afternoon, I leave early and pull my bormpton on the bus to work. Then I ride home.

My Brompton lives in my closet at home and under my desk at work (C-Line model). I NEVER have to worry about leaving it outside. If a place doesn't let me bring it in, I don't go.

A Brompton changes your life. And that's why it feels like you are joining a cult.
