Andrew Ritchie, a brilliant young inventor, put pen to paper and sketched the original Brompton folding bike, calling it the ‘bike of the future.’ It was a radical departure from bicycles of the day – the first in a line of iconic designs which, today, represent the gold standard in folding bicycles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach detail tells a chapter of Brompton's story.
