Dahon MuP8 and Brompton M2L folded size comparison

One of the considerations in purchasing a foldable bike is the size, after-the-fold.

First, the Brompton M2L














Next, the Dahon MuP8

As you can see, the Brompton folds down to a reasonably smaller package, however do take note that we are comparing a 20" wheeled Dahon and a 16" wheeled Brompton.

Brompton Technical Workshop

The Brompton Technical Workshop was organised by Diginexx. Prior to this, I had never fiddled with a bike, and thought it was a good thing to have some technical knowledge on bike maintenance.
















With clean bike!
















Though some of the skills were specific to the Brompton, there were also other universal and important skills that I learnt:
Removing wheels and tyres
Replacing inner tube
Breaking and fixing up the chain

In short, it is good to attend these types of workshops for your own knowledge, and especially because you will have assistance and support during the process.
