Hello everyone,

I'm glad to see a thriving community has formed around this bike here on reddit.

I fell in love with cycling in 2014 and have biked more than I've driven in each of the following years. However, until now all of my bikes have been performance road except for one mountain bike and one full sized commuter build to carry thule bags.

I do all of my own maintenance, take pleasure in the process, love tinkering with bikes, and use any excuse to buy tools so I'm always looking for the next project.

This weekend I unexpectedly found a crazy deal on a Brompton. I've always been curious about Bromptons especially with tons of international work trips coming up that I always have mi

I purchased the following bike around 4 years ago from a friend who didn't want to bring it back to Washington state from California after graduating from college.

If the lighted kindle 3 case light turns off when the kindle goes to sleep I could make a stand to read in bed and not have to worry about battery drain, or leaving a light on, when I fall asleep while reading. I do not own the case and didn't find anything after a few minutes of google searching.

If you havent seen this series this would be a great chance to catch it. Hopefully they don't mess up the transfer like what was done to The World at War.

Here is the wiki on the series for those who have not heard of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilisation_\(TV_series\)

edit: The series is spelled Civilisation not Civilization. I'm used to spelling it the other way due to the video game.
