Brompton Urban Challenge is coming to Melbourne! (UPDATED)

Save the date! Brompton Australia is bringing the Brompton Urban Challenge to Melbourne on 10 October 2015!

Woohoo!!

But what is a ‘Brompton Urban Challenge’, you ask?

Working in teams that include at least one Brompton rider (aka ‘Bromptoneer’) the Brompton Urban Challenge (“BUC”) is a scavenger hunt to find clues hidden around the city, take and post photos of  themselves (or their Bromptons) at the location, and use the most efficiently designed folding bike available (ie your Brompton) as well as various modes of transport to get between locations.

There are BUC’s being held in cities all around the world this year – not just London (where our beloved Bromptons are still made by hand) but Rotterdam, Milan, Budapest, Bern, and a number of cities in the US including New York.

Still not convinced about participating? Check out how much fun the everyone in this YouTube clip is having in this year’s London BUC:

We’ll update this post with more details about the Melbourne Brompton Urban Challenge in due course.

In the meantime, think about who you can get together with, and get excited!

UPDATE: Registration for the Brompton Urban Challenge Melbourne is up and active! Check it out, get together a team or let us team you up with other Bromptoneers.

Either way it’s going to be a great day of fun!
