I always thought the whole point of a folding bike was that it's with me, not locked up somewhere. I never bring a lock when I take the folding bike out.
That said, I keep bikes in my garage, and they all get locked up. (We own 6) It's much, much easier to lock up a folding bike with a cable lock. But it's safer by far to take it along with you. Make friends with the bus drivers, sit by the aisles in class, and you're golden. (The logistics of toting around a folding bike make for an interesting discussion by themselves.)
