Hi all,

I'm a trainee teacher, and I've been placed in a school in Kent. This means a hour and a half commute or waiting outside the school gates if I want to take my bike on the train (before 7).

So I'm wondering if anyone who rides a Brompton would consider swapping for 6 weeks with my Condor Italia racer?

Long shot I know.

Alternatively, I'd be happy to 'hire' one, or even buy 2nd hand. Incidentally, how hard is it to fix the shifter on one of these?

Hey there are a few places you can hire Bromptons, and I think possibly south eastern trains or someone like thy is hiring out Brompton's for people with season tickets.

Sorry for the vagueness, that's about all I know except that the train operator hiring them out was doing so at astoundingly reasonable rates I thought.

I may well be able to lend out a geared alu Dahon, it has mudguards as well ! With a rack too, & have a bag if needed.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
