Une ancienne de Brompton reprend le blog London Cyclist

Citation :

In 2007, I started London Cyclist after getting frustrated at how the only articles I could find online were focused on high end cycling. I felt excluded from a tribe and that there wasn’t something out there for an everyday commuter like myself. […] Today, Emily will be assuming the mantle, with a view to growing London Cyclist in to an even bigger community that continues to play an important role in the future of cycling in London.

You were previously working at Brompton – what was your role there?

I worked in their flagship retail store, the Junction in Covent Garden. I was involved in a bit more than general customer service and learnt a lot from my time in the company. I really do appreciate the bikes and what they offer owners in terms of freedom and transport possibilities. Working in the store also allowed me contact with other regular commuters and leant me further insight into the experiences of others. It also means I have a kick-ass Brompton!

Brompton readers will be rejoicing as we’ll be sharing some interesting articles for folding bike aficionados – what is in the pipeline in the next few months?

We’ll be writing some interesting articles on maintenance and repair. I would also like to talk about how to properly set your Brompton up for you. I have found that they are not always thought of as ‘normal bikes’ and people don’t treat them as they would a regular bike, tweaking the fit and making sure they are regularly maintained. Of course, this is not all owners, but I hope there are some things I have learnt working with the bikes for 11 months that might be of interest to others and I would like a chance to pass them on. Suggestions will gladly be taken as well.

blog a découvrir.
j'aime bien l'expression d'Emily:  "I have a kick-ass  brompton"

Oui, c'est un bon blog. J'ai découvert pas mal de produits par cet intermédiaire.

C'est du vélo urbain. Et si une femme le reprend, ça devrait être encore plus orienté vélo du quotidien plutôt que tous ces sites pour hipsters ou Raymond Boyaux.

Temps pour encore une question sans doute ridicule : Raymond Boyaux, c'est qui et qu'est-ce qu'il t'a fait?

Il est vrai que certains sites sont idiotes, j'en ai encore vu une au UK qui examinait des vélos sportifs 'excellents pour le vélotaf'. Aucun des vélos jugés 'excellents' avait même des garde-boue (!). Donc en pratique inutilisables comme montrés. Pas un mot sur cet aspect. Faut que je déménage car le climat au UK doit être meilleur qu'ici.

Expression lue sur un autre forum.

Un Raymond Boyaux, c'est ce genre de cycliste:


On est loin du bête vélo urbain pour se déplacer.

D'ailleurs il s'est arrêté et regarde vers le forum cherchant qui l'appelle ;-)

Par ici M. Boyaux \o/ \o/ \o/

OK, compris, je reconnais le genre :-)
