I do not own a brompton but from all my research on folders when it comes to commuting by bicycle, compact folding, weight or you just decided to get rid of your car and need to get around using public transportation and bicycle, nothing beats the Brompton. The only negative I could possibly give to it is, fit if you have usual body part dimensions or if you really like the build bike ride feel.
