Hi all! Posting here to share that I hit my personal goal of commuting 1000mi using the Brompton for 2023. It took me 8 months to do it, and using my other bike for some of my commutes as well. I track my miles and rides using my garmin watch. I do feel healthier, and my body has adjusted to the 3X a week commutes. I’m glad I bought a Brompton as it really is a fun bike.
For anyone that’s interested.
Bags – Brompton Metro messenger bag M, Revelate Feed bag for my snacks, random small stuff
Upgrades – Ergon GA3 grips, EZ wheels, 44t chainring

Upgrades – Ergon GA3 grips, EZ wheels, 44t chainring
Lights – Cateye 400 lumens front, generic rear light from amazon
Maint/Repair – Rear brake pads replaced 3 times, 1 rear tire flat. After ride quick wipe downs. Baby wipes makes it easy to degrease the chain. Quick wash on rainy commutes.
Total mileage on the B is about 1600 (600 miles from my 2022 rides).
Have a good ride everyone and be safe out there 🙂
