Other great sites and blogs

I’ve come across quite a few sites that I think deserve a callout for their great content and posts. Many of these have been a tremendous help, and wonderful wells of experience to draw from

Bromptoning

bromptoning

Bromptoning is a bike blog specifically about the journeys and experiences of two friendly Torontonians with their Bromptons. They travel a lot, and bring their Brompton’s everywhere! If you read their blog, you’ll discover that they bought their Bromptons originally as a traveling accessory because they enjoyed the bike rental program in Montreal so much, and wanted to experience biking in other cities that didn’t offer this.

Some of their posts that I have really liked are:

Love this blog over all, definitely going to keep an eye on it. Thanks much Pier & Heather!!! Keep the posts coming.

My Orange Brompton

My Orange Brompton

My Orange Brompton is a blog that has recently moved to a new home that is less Brompton-centric. I haven’t given the new site much of a look-over, but the original is a wealth of neat information about Brompton bikes and cycling in the UK.

I really like this guy’s blog. This post, and the post on Orange Brompton were key factors in me deciding to get a Schmidt hub. He’s also got a great sense of humor, and the blog reads pretty easily.

Reckless Experimentation

Reckless Experimentation is a blog that I’ve only really read a single post off of, but really enjoyed it.

  • First Impressions of the Brompton Bicycle is a great article about the author’s discovery of a Brompton bike while traveling, and the progression of him falling in love and purchasing his own. I really like this article because the guy is from Vancouver, and has a unique perspective given the very hilly terrain.
