Another trailer, if you can find one.. Carry Freedom – City.. cleverly folds flat within it’s frame,
sling bag that goes in the frame, pops out to wear.. over you shoulder

but bag , in the trailer, you can lay the folded Brompton on top of it, and tow the trailer by hand,

maybe running the length of the platform to get to your car on the commuter train.. ?

and once folded trailer has wheels on the back edje to ease its fit between back-to-back seats..

In reply to Alee | CyclingAbout.com. Xootr also makes an aluminum variety of the Swift Folder, and the CrossRack was designed for both the scooter and folding bike. That's why it adapts well to other folding bikes.

In reply to Alee | CyclingAbout.com. Yeah looking like thats the solution but only if my usually full school backpack (Osprey Radial 34) fits into the Brompton Folding Basket. Thank you!

Great article. As a student, I’ve been looking everywhere for a way to attach my school backpack to the Brompton front block. Or a rack on the front block. Is there any solution for this anywhere?!? I don’t want to have to buy a new bag! I just want to roll up to my class, pull my backpack off the bike and toss it on my back, then fold up my bike and go. There’s gotta be a way! Please advise.

In reply to Laurance. You're right. All fixed. Great to hear you're having success with your Cyclone!

Alee, I think you have incorrectly captioned the trailer photo above. The one on the left, if i am not mistaken, is the outstanding Dutch made Radical Designs Cyclone trailer with touring bag, not a Burley.

I have been abusing my Cyclone for a number of years and just can’t seem to kill it: 90kg of fruit n veg and a log of teak are two examples. I have a large wicker basket on mine that is big enough to fit females too lazy or to drunk to walk home.

Two wheeled trailers with single hitch to the rear hub work particularly well with folders as the small rear wheel turns inside the hitch without fouling the hitch bar, a definite problem with the Cyclone when used with 700c wheels..

Thanks much for the great list of options.

To the “Carrier Block (Brompton)” section, you might want to add this new solution for Dahon/Tern users that someone came up with on BikeForums. It sits between the lug and the Brompton block:
