发明家和他的自行车
安德鲁·里奇 (Andrew Ritchie) 是一位年轻的工程师，他相信有更好的方式在城市中移动。 1975 年，在他俯瞰 Brompton Oratory 的公寓的卧室里，他发明了一辆具有巧妙的三部分折叠的自行车。一辆可以变成一个小包裹，可以随身携带的交通工具。城市的“魔毯”。
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.
