A flying car to travel around your city seems like a science fiction dream come to life.

Brompton’s unique folding mechanism dictates nearly every design decision made on these bikes. If you’ve never experienced it, it’s weirdly satisfying to quickly and instantly fold it so you can carry it under your arm as you head down into the subway or put it in the back of a car (although it’s a little annoying to have to carry the battery separately).

As a notably non-bald person, I have trouble empathizing with how much our readers would like to have hair. I have queried several of my male coworkers and have gotten the answer, “Dudes don’t like to be bald.” That’s it, I guess.
Kindles aren’t updated very often, which is fine, because they don’t have to be! The 12th-generation Paperwhite is still the best value Kindle, but bump to the Signature edition if you want to avoid lock-screen ads.
