Nice bum though to be fair ;)

These 'Duh, Bromtons is reely difikult!' videos are one of YouTube's less entertaining sub-genres.

The fold is simple once you've done it a couple times, but it's not intuitive. Her fatal mistake was lowering the seat too soon, that should be the last or next to last step.

How does one acquire a Brompton with out knowing....never mind.

So the rear wheel was locked by the seatpost before the chainstay catch on the lower left fork had been engaged.

Here is the proper folding sequence:

1. tuck back wheel under frame

2. unlock frame hinge & swing front frame assembly rearward while turning handlebars left.

3. hook chainstay catch onto drive side chainstay

4. lower seat post and secure with QR lever

5. unlock stem hinge and mate stem catch into receiver

6. fold LH pedal and rotate left crank CW until it stops against rear wheel

Someone that concerned about color coordination can't be bothered with something as frivolous as an operating manual.

Two questions:

1. What is she wearing?

2. What is she smoking?
