Brompton's Hide-Away Bike Toolkit


By industrial design firm Goodwin Hartshorn





When Brompton wanted to develop an onboard toolkit for their folding bicycles, they turned to British industrial design firm Goodwin Hartshorn.

“We took advantage of the bike’s foldability to create a toolkit which fits inside the frame,” the firm writes. “This protects it from theft and from the elements.”

“The kit includes all the tools necessary for most roadside repairs in a compact, lightweight unit. Perhaps the most innovative features of the kit are the space-saving double-ended driver bits and the unique tyre levers. These not only make removing tyres substantially easier, but also incorporate 10 and 12mm spanners.

Brompton retails these for $100.
