What does Bear Grylls do when he’s not rappelling down the side of a cliff, eating rattlesnakes, or drinking his urine while adrift at sea? Apparently, one of the things he does is tool around on a foldable bike.
Enter the Brompton x Bear Grylls C Line Explore, a new collaboration between the folding bike company and the iconic badass.
You may ask yourself, “Why does an adventurer so intrinsically linked to wild spaces need a folding bicycle, a device most at home in urban environments?”
It’s a good question. But the fact is Grylls doesn’t live in the Arctic, the Congo, or the Amazon rainforest. He lives on a houseboat in London, and the dude’s got to get around somehow.
“The adventure versatility of the Brompton is what makes it so unique. These bikes are a fast, versatile companion that opens up a world of adventure — even if you’re in a city. Compact yet resilient, the BG Brompton allows me to navigate the concrete jungles with the same spirit of adventure as any other jungle. I love it!” Grylls wrote in a press release.
We’ll get to the specs in a sec, but can we take a minute and appreciate this styling?
