@alexantemachina@mastodon.social @Spieltag@sueden.social @SebJac@norden.social I can be very fast on my Brompton (C-line, 6-speed model) which surprises some people on "ordinary" bicycles (judging from the look they give me). While I can reach high speed both on my "big" bike (touring) and Brompton, I would say that Brompton really excels in acceleration, for example when starting from standing position at a traffic light.
