..der Herr scheint wohl noch keinen Blower Bentley durch die Kehre geprügelt zu haben


In my book any article which might broaden the appeal of cycling and/or endorse British engineering and manufacturing is very welcome so Brompton or otherwise well done Guardian.

Personally I have a 26 year old Moulton AM which I fell in love with the moment I saw it and the love affair was consummated after a quick trip round the bike shops back yard.

In my life time I have been lucky enough to own and drive some beautifully engineered sports cars but I have always had more fun and smiles per mile when out on the Moulton which ranks as a lifetime " best purchase" in any category.

If you like engineering and craftmanship you should love the Moulton, aesthetically I appreciate that's down to personal taste but I find most of them beautiful.

Ten or so years ago was on holiday in the Scottish highlands at a fairly large remote hotel. Mid morning 30 or so bikers from Belgium arrive. When they saw the Moulton they were intrigued and almost all wanted a shot - unfortunately didn't have a camera to record things but in my minds eye I can still see this huge hairy biker in his black leather waistcoat cycling furiously past the front door of the hotel on my Moulton to the rapturous applause of his mates.

What inventor Sir Alex would have made of it I shudder to think.

A wave to all cyclists, and more power to your bottom bracket.
