One simple way to achieve this is to get a front wheel with a pantour suspension hub. I used to have a Dahon speed pro that had these as standard and it worked really well for me. You need to find a cheap one as I recall they were quite expensive but in the UK you can get a complete wheel with pantour hub for £80.

Or just fit fatter tyres!
