Hi all,
This is a bit of a long shot but anyway... I'm a doctor who moved to France a few years ago. At the beginning of this year, I decided that I would also come back to work part-time in the NHS and the result of this is I am now "commuting" on a regular basis between Paris and Yorkshire for the duration of this contract (6-12 months, depending how it works out). As it's not a permanent position (yet - it partly depends on my perspective of how the commuting goes), I don't want to figure out a load of permanent stuff (e.g. housing, buying a car, bike, etc etc) and am thus using airbnb for accommodation. I've now found a great place that's not too far from my place of work - but is too far to walk. I'm therefore wondering if anyone has a Brompton (or other foldable bike, as I'll need to be able to transport it easily on trains etc) that I might be able to borrow for the next few months? I pass through London regularly so it would be possible for me to meet up to collect, produce my NHS badge and so on.
Please pm me if you're able to help as I don't check the forum that often and thus the pm will get sent direct to my email.

Was going to give props for the ultracommute until I read it properly. :)
There is a Brompton rental service isn't there? I see them sometimes advertised at train stations in lockers. No idea if it is a good service or not?
