You mean anybody other than me?
They come with £2m of third party cover, which is probably enough.
The bikes are very heavy indeed, and progress is certainly stately - though I'd imagine (shows ignorance here) that a Brompton must be pretty unpleasant to ride too; there's a reason bicycles have proper-sized wheels.
Third gear should be higher, you cannot go at a sensible speed.
I've not been as far as you have, but I find them excellent for pootling about. Something that would be a 30 minute walk (otherwise undoable by public transport) become a 10 minute bike ride. And I love being able to abandon them, something very carefree about it!
You won't find any in zone 2 as there aren't any...
I would say that bunching is less of a problem than it was in Paris where I happened to be last week, where the bikes were all tied up in the middle of town during the day.
