Brompton bicycle cover
This is the new* version now called the Brompton Transit bike cover
*well it was new for 2018!
This zip up Brompton cover is easy to fit to either seatpost or handlebars using our favourite material - velcro
It works like a pac-a-mac - the cover folds into itself for storage while riding
Unfold from the self contained pouch to cover the bike - useful for public transport carriers who require that bikes are covered or just to make it look neater (camouflaged?) when stored in an office / hospital / restaurant for example
It can be partially unzipped so that the saddle is accessible for carrying the bike while the rest is still covered
The cover bag attaches to the saddle bag hooks on the back of a Brompton or Brooks saddle or to the handlebars
A bag such as this is essential if travelling by Eurostar and using the Brompton to / from the train - as to carry your Brompton on board it must be inside a bag (and it's not so easy to ride around with a B bag) - it's one of our must have Brompton accessories (we always take one when travelling)

What's the difference from the old cover?
The old (pre-2018) was a cover / saddle bag also quick and easy to fit and remove - but only to the saddle, with a velcro strap fixing around the seat post to stop it swaying too much whilst riding. This velcro strap had a habit of stopping the seatpost going down properly.
The old version also was two seperate parts - the cover and the pouch for the cover - with some spare space for storing an inner tube (or two) and an energy bar
If touring you could leave the whole cover in a hotel and stuff the pouch full for a days supplies - including a thin waterproof jacket - this isn't possible with the new one

- Borough - for use when traveling / shopping, also suitable for work, though designed more for function over form
