Is there anything (besides your weight) holding bromptons open? Can they close up if you get air off a speed bump?
Yes! I've seen a middle aged dude in a suit getting 'air' bumping up a smallish kerb and it folded underneath. Scary. He looked calm enough though, perhaps he knew he was the vanguard of the Next big Thing on the streets. Coming soon... freestyle fg folder gangs doing chainring grinds on those Horeditch benches. Cool people will think its stupid, which is cool... Stupid people will think its cool, which is also cool...
Seriously though why not just have QR thingy that allows them be to locked open?! And lose the rubber bushing. I don't get that.
