In this month’s Old Georgetown Board plans, a new sign application appears to indicate that Brompton is opening a shop at 1214 Wisconsin Ave. (formerly the Scotch and Soda).
For those not into niche bikes: Brompton makes high quality foldable bikes. The idea is that after you use the bike, you can compact it down and transport or store it much more easily than a normal bike. Here’s how they work:
If this shop does open, it will be the fifth bike shop in the neighborhood. Which is actually rather remarkable. This particular location wouldn’t be high on my list of good spots for bike shops, given the proximity to the crowded Wisconsin and M intersection. But the nifty thing about these bikes is that they’re so portable. So if you want a test ride on a quieter street, it’s not hard to get it there.
