@arstechnica Greed is fully in charge as usual. Viewing through Internet Archive probably has minimal effect on actual sales.

@arstechnica Strange comment on gear shifting. It’s a 3 speed hub gear – lessen pressure when changing – coupled with a 2 speed derailleur – change while pedalling. I’ve ridden Bromptons on and off for 40 years, and grew up with (Sturmey Archer) hub gears.
