I thought I would, but it turns out I don't. Here's why.

The regular bike is sitting there ready to go - I don't need to unfold it, and refold it at the other end.

On hot days, I coast to work trying not to sweat too much, and barely managing, and if I had to fold and maybe bag the folder and lug it inside, that would be enough to really make me sweat.

The folder is more valuable than the regular bike.

The folding bike would be easier to steal, and also has more quick release parts, so easier to strip.
