  • Brompton it and skip the tube, it’s only 7 or so minutes to cycle to London Bridge.

    When I was commuting on train, it save me a lots more time between home/work and stations, as we do spend a lots of time commuting where we could have waken up maybe half hour later or arrived home half hour earlier etc.

    I guarantee you will find it more useful than you realised, stock 3 speed with mudguard is worth going for and have a strong resell value should you wish to rid it.

  • So this is my only problem...
    I have 1 mile from my house the the train. Then it's 2hrs into Waterloo. Quick hop on the underground and then out at Canary Wharf with an exit and escalator direct into my building. So I don't actually have to go outdoors in London!
    Do I just make a conscious effort to cycle everywhere I can? So Waterloo to Canada Water? 3.3 miles, 20 mins or so and enjoy the health benefits!

    @PhilDAS Tubes included with my train season ticket so no saving really.. I will only be cycling in the dry..

  • If it were me, I'd take the brompton for the extra time on the bike over the tube; in extremis you can always take it with you underground if you have to.

  • If you're going to cycle at the London end, get a Brompton. If you're not, get a station beater. As has already been said, taking a Brompton on the tube is a PITA for you and everyone else.
