Usually, I ride my bike all the way from home in Longmont to work in Boulder.
But today, things worked out a little differently. I need to take the bus, and later I have to ride to a meeting in Boulder, so there’s nowhere to leave my regular bike.
That’s why I decided to take my Brompton instead.
And just look how quickly and easily it folds! With my Radical Design bag, I can completely pack it away, so you wouldn’t even know there’s a bike inside.
Here it is, all folded up and ready to go. I also have this small front bag where I keep my phone and wallet.
And… here comes the bus!
I’ll just ask the driver.
The Brompton actually fits perfectly inside the bus and can be stored there without any problem. But I don’t want to take up extra space or create any inconvenience for other passengers.
So, I’m happy to put it in the luggage compartment underneath. It doesn’t take up much space, and it’ll be completely safe down there.
And that’s what I recommend doing whenever you have the option: instead of bringing extra bags or bulky items into the passenger area, use the luggage compartment underneath.
That way, it’s more comfortable for you — and for everyone else on the bus.
