発明家と自転車
アンドリュー・リッチーは、街を移動するためのより良い方法を信じていた若いエンジニアでした。 1975 年、ブロンプトン礼拝堂を見下ろす彼のアパートの寝室で、彼は独創的な 3 つ折りの自転車を発明しました。小さなパッケージに変形し、彼と一緒にどこへでも行ける乗り物。街の「魔法のじゅうたん」。
The First Brompton Factory
“Bollo Lane”, or the Brentford Factory, was housed inside two old railway arches. The team hand-built 60 bikes a month—all-steel, black and fitted with a rack. Customers could choose 3 or 5-speed hub gears. By 1991 Brompton had 56 outlets in the UK and an even bigger export market.
Andrew is pictured (far left) with his team outside Bollo Lane. Mark, 4th from the left (and his son), still works at Brompton today. He no longer wears a shell suit to work.
