Seems to be some confusion over which record was broken. Someone has cycled it in quite a lot less. Are there records for solo, unsupported type of thing?

Was the rider carrying a Starbucks and a copy go the Guardian for the whole way?

And refuse to fold it when on packed train.

Hell, it's a Brompton - it's a lifestyle product - not folding bike

Whatever happened to Moulton bikes ?

Still going apparently, having survived being part of Raleigh.

I've got an original Bickerton in the garage. They're very :shock: to ride because the handlebars move backwards and forwards (they're so long they'd be difficult to make rigid so it's a 'design feature' rather than a 'fault'. :D ).

I've got one. It's a 196? Deluxe that I got for £10 in a second hand shop a few years ago. It's at the old mans in Ireland at the moment though so no pics.
