Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Actually, I'm currently using a set of conventional pedals from other bikes, and would be very happy to give up on the folding feature. However, I have a width issue where I sometimes stow this bike, so at least the right pedal has to fold or be removed.

As I said, this bike is used only for certain situations, and I greatly prefer riding either the commuter or road bike. So quality isn't that big a deal, but since I spend 95% of my time on non folding pedals, the sloppiness is very noticeable and I'd love to avoid it if possible.

If there aren't any halfway decent folding pedals out there, then plan B is to use any of my other pedals, carry a short pedal wrench and remove the right one when I need to.

BTW - clipless pedals of any kind aren't in the cards. This is an errand bike and I usually ride it wearing Crocs. I'm not looking for anything good, just for something that's not obviously bad.
