I'm with @Leshaches. Having them is better than wishing you did. I'm not sure what the hiring subscription is like, but testing a few different setups might help you decide.

Hey Brompton owners!
I’ve been on a Dolan pre cursa with wide bars, front rack, hydraulic disc, gravel fork. Full commuter hipster build. I love it. Naughty I know, but no foot retention and disc feels plenty safe. Especially as I’m on like 48x17 or 18. Something spiny and slow for going along the Thames path to work.
Anyway, I need to get a folding bike, as I need to drop off my boy at the child minder, and currently that means one stop on the tube that’s unavoidable.
Was looking at the subscriptions (c line 3spd) and that might be a good start, but I don’t really want gears. Is it stupid to go for the p line single speed? Will I miss the gears? Any advice with this harrowing transition to a non-fixed gear bike?
