Rt Hon is for Privy Counsellors, not local councillors! (-:

...and another mention of Brompton as Faisal Islam (Channel 4 News) blogs on how Brompton bikes have become the new Lara Croft: http://bit.ly/2pqjvsAndrew

Another success for Brentford. Cllr Andrew Dakers can be seen daily cycling around Hounslow on his yellow Brompton bike.

I've just seen the good article about Bromptons and their Brentford factory athttp://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/nov/08/brompton-bicycle-folding-sales-factory

A few years ago I went along to the factory to join the massed Brompton bike ride from Brentford to the Bike Show at  Excel, Docklands.I wasn't lucky enough to book in time for the factory trip but I heard lots of positive comments from those who did go round. There is a tremendous commitment to quality and getting their bikes right - which was demonstrated by a couple of guys going round the waiting bikes and fitting a free upgraded clip to those bikes that didn't have it.Photos taken by a participant on that occasion are athttp://cycling.raven-family.com/Brompton%20Tour/Brompton%20Factory%20Tour.html

...of course I should have said Cllr Andrew Dakers and possible Rht Hon, if the Lib Dems win.:-)
