As the UK’s largest bicycle manufacturer, Brompton is best known for its compact folding bikes, which are popular with commuters and urban riders worldwide. History
Brompton’s origins go back to 1975, when engineer Andrew Ritchie began designing a folding bicycle in his London flat overlooking the Brompton Oratory. He aimed to create a bike that folded easily, travelled well, and could go anywhere a person needed to be in a city.

In 1987, after many years of independent development and repeated rejections by banks and industry players, the Brompton folding bike won Best Product Award at the Cyclex Bike Show in London.
