An evening with Andrew Ritchie

Come and hear Andrew Ritchie talk about Brompton bikes on the evening of Wednesday 1st September.

Andrew Ritchie was working as a landscape gardener in London when, in 1975, he conceived the idea for a folding bike.

Since then he has guided the Brompton Bicycle company from its initial production facility in a railway arch to become the largest bicycle manufacturer in the UK producing 26,000 bikes per year and the last transport manufacturer of any kind based in London. Today, Bromptons are sold in 33 countries around the world.

The event will take place at the Gallery, 70 Cowcross Street, EC1M 6EJ (Farringdon tube station). Doors open at 6pm and the talk will commence at 6:30pm. Refreshments will be available, with all proceeds going to Sustrans.

Tickets can be purchased here.
