Singapore Men Spend $12,000 On Titanium Foldies To Cycle 400 Metres

Singapore’s middle-aged men have officially traded their mid-life crises for $12,000 titanium folding bikes that serve primarily as overpriced kickstands.

These Lycra-clad warriors spend four hours obsessively polishing carbon-fibre hinges only to cycle a gruelling 400 metres to the nearest air-conditioned cafe.

"Eh hello, this one is full custom Brompton leh, if I fold any faster the frame will catch fire," bragged 45-year-old enthusiast, Teck Ong.

"My wife think I exercise, but actually I just come here sit down, drink kopi, and show people my gold-plated gear shifters."

The National Parks Board is considering designating ‘Foldie Flex Zones’ to prevent groups of thirty men from causing human traffic jams while taking macro photos of their chains.

Ultimately, these engineering marvels remain the perfect way to hide a protruding beer belly behind a very expensive, very small wheel.
