Brompton Folding Bike Championships Come to the USA

Sami Grover, Carrboro, 13 February 2010, USA: TreeHugger - Cars & Transportation (bikes)
If this video of the 3rd annual Brompton World Championships got US folding bike enthusiasts excited, then they'll be delighted that for the first time ever, a national US Brompton championship is to be held in March in Philadelphia. And what's not to like about a bike race where the competitors first have to unfold their steed, and where all participants are required to wear business attire, no sports attire may be visible! (I never did like looking at lycra anyway.) The prizes are pretty awesome too—though they are unlikely to do much for your carbon footprint.
