Well, if you think that cycling events are all lycra and carbon fiber, think again. The Brompton World Championship is a unique and fancy event that showcases the versatility and style of Brompton folding bicycles.

First launched in 2008, the event features a criterium race that sees participants riding Brompton folding bikes around the track. But this is no ordinary race. Oh no, competitors must first run to their folded bikes and unfold them before they can even start pedaling.

To add to the challenge, riders are not allowed to wear the usual spandex cycling attire. Oh, no no no. They must wear business attire, which certainly makes for a classy sight as they zip around the course.

The event is put on by Brompton Bicycle Ltd as a promotional event, but it's more than just a marketing stunt. It's a celebration of the unique design and functionality of the Brompton folding bike and a showcase of the style and elegance that cycling can offer.
