As you plan to do, I also use it for my work commute to avoid using the car and every situation when it’s too long to walk but not worth going by car (in Geneva it takes way longer at rush hour).
I just changed job recently and now I am further away (not sure how much) from home but still using the A-Bike Daily. I have a few options to go to my workplace:
1) Car - takes 15 minutes if very lucky but around an hour if there’s traffic (most times).
2) Tram/Bus - Expensive and takes around 20 minutes or more with stops and changes.
3) Walk - Takes around 25 to 30 minutes. Nice view since it’s always near the lake.
4) A-Bike - Takes around 7 minutes.

I end up using the A-bike most of the times (or walking). That’s even when it’s kind of a rainy day (like today). I have it now for a few months and even used it during my holidays in Portugal, in off-road dirt tracks with rocks and holes (Extreme A-Biker?). In this new job I have to take the bike trough sidewalk and asphalt (the ideal conditions) and it’s just fine. There’s a few irregular patches, bumps and holes on the way. You try to avoid them most of the times but it’s fine if you occasionally hit some (you don’t die or fall in a spectacular way). Of course it’s not a mountain bike and doesn’t go as fast as one but it’s still way faster than walking/running and… try to put a mountain bike in your desk drawer (like I do with the A-Bike) or behind the door or in a cabinet at home. The huge advantage here is being practical, portable and convenient.
I never saw another A-Bike in Geneva but see a lot of Brompton’s and other foldable ones, which go at the same speed (or slower). As foldable, they are just half the hassle of a big one, they still take half the space and are heavy. As for the A-Bike, I had heavier laptops :) I saw a few of them in London on the streets and on buses and the tube.

One advice… Keep the tires at 90 (PSI?) or 100… I use the pump every 10 days or so to keep it like that.

It was worth the money it costs (it’s cheaper now by the way), plus the shipping from the UK plus the custom charges or taxes or whatever it was :) Really worth it.

They sent me the pump for free (I was not expecting) but I saw a lot of compatible ones in every sport stores afterwards, but mostly without the gauge to check the tire pressure.

Just use the (yellow small banner) link in this article and order yours. Looking forward to listen from your A-Bike experience :) Cheers.

Note: Get ready for people stealing it and using it at work in the office all the time.

PS Do you think the pump is needed? Is it somehow “special”?
