  • Is there a reliable shoulder strap for carrying folded Bromptons?

    I want to get back to the office/riding as much as possible and am considering whether a C Line Urban - 2 Speed may excite me into picking up my old pre-pandemic routine, riding in from E17 to Old St, eventually with a bit of training miles added in, now that my office has moved back there.

    I need to collect kids on some of the days I’d ride - most likely a 2yo in a pushchair. This is ten minutes walk from home, so I would likely drop the bike off first, but would like to be prepared to go straight to the nursery.

    All that information is probably completely boring and I am sorry, just trying to think it out loud as much as possible.

  • I’ve tried the restrap one for this, but it’s pretty impractical. The strap is really narrow and actually quite uncomfortable when you put as much weight on it as even a P Line.

    The Bromptonic one might be better, not tried it. Definitely not the prettiest thing though.

    Oh, Restrap have done their hike a bike harness thing. That might be worth a look?

    What PeteJChurchill also said.

    If you are carrying the Brompton for a very short distance it works. Even 200 yards might annoy you/you will find the bike banging a tender part of your side so you might find it easier to either go home first or if the nursery are nice enough to let you stash the bike; but this does mean you have to drop-off the next morning or just come back for it if you can.

    If your pushchair has the space for to 'stash' it, this might be easier. If you have a lightweight pushchair like a yoyo, then the only realistic option might be the roller rack and you 'push' the pushchair and the bike at the same time with the bike between you and the pushchair.

    My little one has passed the pushchair stage; the only way I think it can be done is one hand on the pushchair and one hand on the unfolded bike, but definitely I would prefer the lightness of the T vs a C, even for 10 mins were I to carry.
