It has been raining and wet most of this week and the one dry day we had I was on the Trek cycling in the West End and Angel. I have not used the Brompton all week. But I saw man riding a pink Brompton along Charing Cross Road and two very speedy Bromptons, one red and the other green weaving in and out of traffic in Piccadilly. Whenever I see other Bromptons I miss mine.
The sun has returned this morning but I have to wait for an engineer because I have no hot water. But after it is fixed I am jumping on the bike and back to a hot bath. Bliss.

There seems to be quite a few men riding pink Bromptons, is this signs of an attempt to reclaim the colour as masculine?
I did go back to Bobbin Bikes and I asked them but they did not know either. They just get various bells from their stockists. Because the bells are so cheap and I don't think they keep the same stock year after year and they are not listed on the Bobbin Bike website either. Sorry.
