Interested persons can read all about an idea for carrying full size
panniers on a folder.

Uninterested persons can of course stay here and follow the exciting
adventures of the disintegrating bottle holder.

The bottle holder only fails "in-flight". Not sure if that means the
bottle holder is fleeing, or on an aeroplane, or what?

No, Bromptons don't interest me either.

Sailboat folding bike riders I spoke with were in a very good mood, bike facilitating an escape into space and a trio to the food store.

A search of Google images for: folding bike cargo...

"Lifestyle" accessories for the poncier classes. Real people have lives; ponces have lifestyles -- and Bromptons.

Google makes you even you look more stupid than you are, Daniels, which takes some doing.

Try the OED instead, which, since I'm too busy to look it up, I'll paraphrase for you, not as weird as it may sound to you because the Oxford depends for its definitions on how people like me write and speak:

Ponce, n: derogatory noun for an effeminate male: Peter Howard of Slade Point is such a ponce, nobody'd even believe he has congress with the ewe he keeps staked out back.
Ponce [about, around], v: Transitive verb (to ponce) for behaving in an affected and ineffectual manner: Peter Howard ponces around on the net as a flame warrior but the poor little man is nothing more than a wannabe.
Poncier: adjectival comparative: Poor Little Howie is poncier than a fifth wheel on a wagon, more useless than tits on a bull.
Ponce up: unnecessary elaboration or change to something already functional: That idiot Peter Howard came here looking to be stroked by us for poncing up his twee little folder well beyond its designer's intention or engineering sanity.

I also once in a hurricane put the City of Germiston, my yacht, in to Ponce, a dingy little port in Puerto Rico, as in "any ponce in a storm", to which the appropriate chorus when around Little Howie is, "all cats are dark in the night".

And again, just so we can be certain it is an illiteracy, not a deliberate joke. Not that anyone could suspect you of a sense of humour, anyhow.

And proudly signed by an illiterate who tells us he is "interested in writing". First get "interestred" in being educated, sonny.

Jutey, you do understand don't you that I only ever see your yipping

That's pretty heavy, clumping, dull humor, Andrew. It's almost as funny as Little Howey in his most vicious wannabe-bully mode. Try Linklater or Coren or Cleese instead.

I'm not surprised that someone known as a, or even the, "Language Person" is duller than the proverbial dirty dishwater.

Precisely, Little Howey. It must burn a illiterate wannabe netbully like you that I'm so consistently quotable.
