Good Morning All
An interesting development combining our first two research themes, manufacturing and transport / mobility. Brompton cycles have announced a new subscription service for their foldable cycles; this is in addition to the hourly rental scheme you can see at many stations. I cannot find anything on their own website, so am relying on the Guardian website being accurate; other sites are reporting this as well (other cycle manufacturers and newspapers are of course available).

How to finance and insure manufacturers such as Brompton who decide to move from sales to subscription for their products also forms part of our finance theme which is under development with the call due to be launched on 1st September
