What is Bromptolona?
Bromptolona is the fusion of two concepts: Brompton, our bike, and Barcelona, our city. We organize bicycle guided routes around Barcelona and its surroundings aimed at both locals and visitors.
Passion for Barcelona
Bromptolona is also the blend of two passions. The first one, the bicycle as a means of urban transport. It gives us great joy seeing how little by little our city is becoming more sustainable and fit for bike riding. Secondly, we are passionate about discovering new and unknown neighborhoods in Barcelona, as well as areas off the beaten path, or just simply curious about discovering the history behind a local shop or park we pass by every day.
Why Brompton?
We understand that this might be a frequent question. We do not endorse the brand and we don’t get any money from them, but since we discovered their bicycle we have turned into hardcore fans for different reasons. Its quality is remarkable and if it’s taken care of, it can last for many, many years. It’s not just a folding bike, it’s extremely easy to fold up and very compact, making it easy to carry it around (on public transport, inside a shop, ect.) and occupying very little space at home. And frankly speaking, it’s a cutie.
