Led by our enthusiastic Hong Kong Brompton community, the One Millionth Brompton whizzed through various iconic landmarks and made pitstops at our dealers in Hong Kong and Macau over three days. The bike’s first pit stop was MT Biker and Brompton Station.
The One Millionth Brompton then made its way to The Clock Tower, the only remnant of the original site of the former Kowloon station. We caught captivating views of the endless skyline at Star Ferry Pier, Tsim Sha Tsui, and stopped over at our retailers: MCBC, Bull Bike, and Flying Ball HK.
Crossing over by ferry, the One Millionth Brompton then travelled to further landmarks and Victosports, our retailer in Macau.
We were greatly heartened to see the community of passionate Brompton owners and to leave our distinct Brompton footprint on Hong Kong’s vibrant mosaic of cultural tapestry.

Displaying the One Millionth Brompton, along with MK1 and four Archive Edition bikes in Funan Mall’s Atrium Space for five days, we ended our last day with the ultimate highlight – the community ride-out.
We took a spin along Singapore’s bay area, from Marina Bay Sands to our Brompton Junction at Funan. It was a sight to behold with each Brompton owner riding their unique Brompton – and we loved watching our strong and passionate community come together, decked out in different colours.
Our Archive Edition bikes showcased in Funan came in historical colours Baby Pink, Arctic Blue and Apple Green. But the cherry on top for all Brompton enthusiasts was certainly the launch of the APAC-exclusive series: the two-tone Apple Green with Arctic Blue bike.
The Brompton team also seized the opportunity to thank the Brompton community’s unwavering support, before revisiting and reaffirming our company's purpose to create urban freedom for happier lives. We marked this historic event, by pasting the exclusive Singapore city sticker onto the One Millionth Brompton.
Together with local celebrities and industry heavyweights, our Brompton One Millionth Singapore event banded the #AllTogetherDifferent Brompton community.
Annyeonghasaeyo! The One Millionth Brompton arrived in Seoul, South Korea for its next stop in late August and it was celebrated with the wonderful Wecle store team in Yeouido, the ‘Wall Street’ of Korea. The event showcased unique Korean history and how, together with Brompton, our lives are happier and different from the usual mundane urban life.
Over 150 Brompton riders from our community came together to celebrate how we are “All Together Different”, and enjoyed a ride from the iconic Seoul landmark of Gwanghwamun Square to Wecle Yeouido, one of the best places for Brompton riders in South Korea.
The event was an opportunity for Brompton friends from all over the country to meet up and share their experiences. Not only for those in attendance, but it was also an opportunity for all Brompton riders in South Korea to celebrate our “All Together Different” Brompton lifestyles with hundreds of Instagram photos with Bromptons in different places that represent all aspects of the country as a part of the campaign.
A bit of wet weather wasn’t enough to dampen the spirits of everyone who turned out to help celebrate the One Millionth Brompton!
From as near as “just down the road” to as far away as Brunei, our group was as diverse as our Bromptons. After a short welcoming speech from our store manager, Dayna, forty-one riders then formed up and rode a lap of nearby Princes Park.
We were joined by the British High Commissioner to Australia, Ms Vicki Treadell and Consul-General to Melbourne, Mr Steph Lysaght who not only participated in the ride, but acted as impartial judges in selecting the Most Dapper and Most Elegant prize winners. Congratulations to Joy and Liz respectively!
Everyone in attendance received a coveted sticker and badge to commemorate the One Millionth Brompton's visit.

On a balmy afternoon in late January, we led a beautiful shop ride around Sydney to celebrate the Millionth Brompton.
Starting in the leafy backstreets of Alexandria, a large group of customers and shop staff set out to see the city's sights with our Bromptons in tow. We took the scenic route along the harbour at Barangaroo Reserve, stopping for a stunning photo op near the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
Retracing our steps back up through the city, we wrapped up at the bike friendly York Lane Bar for some light refreshments, good times, and prizes!
We handed out awards for the most beautiful brompton, the best modded Brompton, and more. It was awesome to see so many Bromptoneers coming together to celebrate these incredible bikes.
The Millionth Brompton arrived in Adelaide ready for a roll out under sunny blue skies, headed up by Dave, the owner of Treadly Bike Shop.

After a quick pit stop for refreshments, the riders wound through the industrial old part of the city before hitting the parklands and following the River Torrens back into the city center.
There we visited the Local Loops Bike Punks pop-up; the Tour Down Under collaboration between Brompton Australia and Pedla, the Melbourne biking apparel company.
