I haven't taken my Brompton on a train in ages. I love its portability though as it stops me needing to lock it up. I must admit I have been feeling low on energy and did find the bike heavy taking it around John Lewis (and up to the 3rd floor café) today

If men are allowed in what is the point in calling it a women's section? Apart from saddles how many other female specific cycling issues can you think of?
