Can you fit a Brompton into a 997... sorted

[SaTTaN]

it's a long story, I do own up to owning a Brompton (as well as a "proper" road bike) but would obviously never ride it in the Lycra

Being the father of 2 kids, some family cycling beckons at a charity event this weekend - normally I would take my hybrid, rather than road bike as i can attach tow-bar etc. to it - however, some scrote stole it last month so I'm down to 2 bikes.

So, anyways - it's sunny - I find myself wondering can I fit 2 kids and 3 bikes in my 997 C4S Cab, rather than taking the wife's car. The Brompton folds small and should fit in the front boot right? kids in the back; kids bikes on passenger seat (on a towel to protect seats) and that should be lovley

Well, it works - with some minor adjustment - saddle and seat post on the Brompton needs to come out (easy spanner job) - I have the long seat-post, may be ok with a standard one, loosen off the handlebars with an allen key (red box) and fold them down and bobs your long lost uncle

Sorted for some weekend, family roof down fun.

(no room for the wife though... ah well ).

ta-da...



I would advise putting a towel or something over the top of the Brompton in the boot, just incase you scratch the inside of the bonnet when you're faffing with it (like I did.. oops).
