Brompton Commuter Bags Review
Brompton folding bikes are a popular choice for daily transport, and adding a dedicated front bag makes them even more practical.
Cycle magazine Editor Dan Joyce reviews four good options, noting that Bromptons work best for everyday urban journeys, such as the station-to-office commute.
Luggage is a given in such situations, and a dedicated Brompton front bag is the best way to carry it, as it eliminates sweating and aching associated with backpacks, and helps stabilize the low-trail steering.
Brompton front bags clip onto the head-tube-mounted Front Carrier Block, rated for loads up to 10kg, although it can carry more, as Dan Joyce once hauled 35kg of tiles, but this is at the user's own risk.
The Front Carrier Block can also be fitted to other small-wheelers with the matching head-tube mount, such as Circe's Helios tandem.
You won’t sweat or ache like you might with a backpack, and having the weight over the front wheel helps stabilise the low-trail steering.
Author's summary: Brompton front bags make folding bikes more practical for daily commutes.
