Ode to Brompton (someone else's).

Yesterday, I happened across this article. I think I was originally searching for something about female Brompton-ers but this Independent article, from Will Self, came up in the search and proved a fantastic read.

I laughed out loud at some of his points as I share the exact same sentiments or opinions. Specifically his pre-conceptions surrounding Bromptons and their owners and then his joy of owning his own Brompton and using it day after day, for a whole variety of trips. I also share his desire for Brompton accessories (such as the bag) and the slight fantasy-awe of the titanium versions.

I have always liked Will Self's subjects that he writes about. As a human geographer by degree, I am fascinated by psychogeography and during my final year studies on the subject I came across a lot of his writing. Finding out he is also a Brompton-er only makes me admire him even more.
