Thousands of British companies are bracing for huge changes on Jan. 1, when Britain leaves the European Union. Talks on a free new trade are stuck, with a breakthrough needed in days to avoid a disruptive no-deal British exit.

A woman cycles on a Brompton folding bicycle past a sign outside Waterloo Station reminding people they are required to wear face coverings inside the station and whilst traveling on trains, in London, during England's second coronavirus lockdown, Friday, Nov. 20, 2020.

“We struggled to get the parts back in again,” Butler-Adams said. “So we’ve had to eat into our Brexit stock, which has saved us in many respects. But it now means, having been prudent and got it all organized three years ago, we’re now sitting here with a month to go and we’ve got no Brexit stock and we’re facing Brexit.”

Things will be smoother with a deal, which would remove quotas and tariffs on goods, though businesses still face new obstacles and red tape. Brexit means millions of customs declarations to be filled in, thousands of new border staff to check shipments, and construction of vast parking lots for trucks as a new border is built after decades of seamless trade.

Brompton boss Butler-Adams is an optimist, an ebullient enthusiast for cycling and British manufacturing. He’s confident Brompton, which exports 75% of its bikes, can thrive despite Brexit. “We recognize the challenges that the industry faces, however British consumers will bear the brunt of higher prices if anti-dumping measures were retained or carried across from the EU,” it said in a statement.

The grass is always greener....not with Brexit. What a colossal mistake by the UK.

For whatever reason, I had to take a long look at that picture to actually see the mask this person on the bike had. At first glance, I thought that they had an elaborate mask with an image of a human face on it.

Bike maker firmly in the Brexit saddle.
