Here's my '94 Bike Friday Pocket Rocket at the end of a 90 mile day on a camping trip to Yosemite Park last year:

Agree with the comments above that the fit of the bike (i.e. relative position of hands/feet/seat) is what's important and that is essentially the same on my folder as on my other road bikes. Mine does require some disassembly for packing, but compared to all the other preparations for a trip the 20 minute packing time seems pretty trivial.
