I saw this pair of Bromptons outside the supermarket yesterday. They were owned by a couple who had gone to do their grocery shopping. I loved the complimentary colours, the matte powder blue and gloss of the viridian green.
As I was also shopping I had my Trek bike laden with food. But realising that I haven’t been on my Brompton for over a week I took it into the West End later in the afternoon to return a book to Waterstones in Piccadilly and a bag to the Cath Kidston shop in Spittlefields. Travelling in Central London is getting tricky, but I will write about this another time.

This afternoon I have to pick up some things from B&Q on the way home so I'll put it on one of their big flat trolleys.
These guys might need two trolleys but it still seems like an odd idea to leave a Brompton outside.
Morrisons have those wee trolley lockers at the cafe which I've thought about using.
I will be interested to hear how travel is becoming trickier in Central London. Bar the odd maniac, it is a pretty good ride, although I still wouldn't touch Park Lane with a 50ft pole. It's even scary to drive there, let alone cycle.
The train got into Southampton early and I had to rush to unlock the bike and get off before heading to Waterloo.
Even on the train I used an Abus Granite. The bikes in the photo don't look as if they are using anything like that.
