If you wear a helmet, use it to strap the folded bike together.

That should work with Dahons and bikes with a similar folding design, but it will not work with a Bike Friday unless you have a very ample chin strap...:lol:

When rolling your bike through a heavy crowd, it's all about the atti-tude.
Look straight ahead at where you want to be. Make no sudden turns, be predictable. If they know where you're gonna be and you look like you're gonna be there, damnit, most people will get right out of your way.

Do not underestimate the power of gloves, even for short rides on small wheels.

To get panniers on the rear rack of a 16" folder without heelstrike, mount them waaay towards the back of the rack. You may still have to pedal on the heel or arch of your foot to avoid heelstrike; this is not a tip for long rides.

I guess you could because I know how Dahon hinges are prone to wear..... but what do you then wear to protect your head?
