I support the usage of the foldable bike for the park officers doing their work.
And I don't mind them using a better quality bike, for them to ride with better comfort, and the bike should be durable and easy serviceable.
But why brompton? I don't feel that it is more difficult to ride or less durable using a dahon? I can fold the dahon faster than a brompton, and the folded package is equally small.
But worst of all and the biggest joke is that the tender can be concluded with only 1 bid.... then why waste time and money going through the motion of the tendering process?
Please remember, the money they spent to buy the bikes are from every tax payer in Singapore. They should spent it wisely.
