Will Butler-Adams on why the future of the foldable bike is electric: "Dearie me," Will Butler-Adams sighs, raising his eyebrows in mock horror as he examines my bike. I’ve arrived at the Brompton factory in Brentford on my much-used fold-up, only to have the company’s chief executive start diagnosing its problems.   “The brake blocks are pretty much finished,” he tells me.
