I attached a rudimentary camera mount to the Chiltern some time back but wasn’t entirely satisfied with the results – because the camera was mounted ahead of the handlebars, any movement of the handlebars was highly exaggerated making for some rather comical scenes.

However, I was able to salvage some footage from a trial outing and have finally turned it into a couple of shorts. Here’s a quick dash down the Tay Road Bridge to Dundee and up the river to the “new” Railway Bridge

A flock of Bromptons roosting in a NYC park

I’ve never ceased to be amazed by Bromptons. I could stand and stare at them all day…

I’ve seen them riding around and I’ve seen them folded but never in the actual act of transmogrification. Oh…sure, we’ve all seen photos!

Fortunately, the BBC – the people who brought us The Private Life of Plants – have managed to capture the amazing process of transforming a bicycle into a squat cuboid of disjointed steel tube and rubber….with a seat on it.
