DO | Community bike ride | Brompton
Calling all Brompton owners! As part of a year-long global world tour, the British bicycle brand has brought it’s one millionth bike to Singapore for a meet-and-greet with its die-hard fans, now on display at Funan Mall Atrium Space till July 23.
As part of the festivities, any and all Brompton owners are invited to congregate at Marina Bay Sands Spectra area on July 23, at 9am, to join in a mass ride around the bay. The ride will end at Funan, where the fun continues inside the mall, complete with a Best Dressed contest and other activities.
The event forms a part of the company’s ‘All Together Different’ campaign, an initiative that celebrates the different ways Brompton fits into lives, the community that uses the bike, and a collective belief that cities have a different future – greener, more connected, more active – a future powered by bikes.
Brompton Singapore is also launching the Brompton Archive Edition — special edition bikes designed around the original Mark One specifications and come in three unmistakable historical colours: Baby Pink, Arctic Blue and Apple Green. The Archive Edition has a robust, handmade steel frame, three hub gears, dynamo lights powered by the rider’s movement, and a silver rear rack for carrying cargo. The bikes will be available for purchase at the Brompton Junction store in Funan Mall or its official dealers from July 19.
