I just started bike commuting in August of this year (after about a ten year hiatus) and so far 43-1/2 commutes, all on my DaHon Curve folding bike. 6.5 miles from home to the Metro Station / fold bike - Take Metro 10 miles - Unfold bike, ride 1.1 mi. to work. So only about 15.5 miles of actual bike riding per day (round trip).

Four flat tires, chain popped off the rear sprocket once, otherwise no mechanical problems. No ice and snow here of course; 2 days in rain and wet streets.
