Andrew Ritchie was a young engineer who believed in a better way to move around the city. In 1975 in the bedroom of his flat overlooking the Brompton Oratory, he invented a bike with an ingenious 3-part fold. A vehicle that transformed into a small package and could go anywhere with him. A 'magic carpet' for the city.

Brompton is an independent company with a team of over 750 people. We create freedom in the city with folding bikes and useful products that are built to last. As the largest bicycle manufacturer in the UK, we're working hard to build a genuinely sustainable and accountable business. A bit like our bike, Brompton is unique, inventive, and unafraid to challenge conventional wisdom.
