The Brompton got turned away from a cinema today: the Rich Mix creative centre in Shoreditch. Bromdinium was feeling a little lacking in urban cool, dressed in work clothes and a rapha softshell. And a bike clip rather than rolled jeans.
Perhaps because of this, health and safety meant he got chucked out of the showing of Monkey Warfare, shown as part of the Bicycle Film Festival. Oh, the irony. However, turned out Cycleworks were laying on 'valet bike parking' in aid of an African recycling cycle charity, so the B. got locked up for once. An innovation all cinemas, galleries and theatres should introduce. I'd pay a quid to have someone tend a folded brommie.
Film was pretty good, too. Bikes, the MC5, Canada, the Baader Meinhof gang. And app. there's an afterparty at the Bloomsbury bowling lane. The next film, Safety in Numbers, a crossing of the Alps, looked promising as well.
Other news. Velorution have announced that Brompton have released a clip to stop the B. folding.
Bumped into George as well.
