I commuted with a folder for a while.
It was a blast !
No difference in time elapsed time to get to work--squirted like a little water flea through traffic.
The only caveat is, its sort of hard to stand up and pedal. But, no big deal.
I strapped a big, plastic kitty litter tub on the back for a waterproof trunk for Floridas hurricane season.
A folder is a great commuter. You are right around Bike Friday . . . Check 'em out !!
