Bikes: Generic MTN bike I'm borrowing from my grandfather

Is a folding bike worth buying?

Hey guys! I just tried to commute (1.7 miles each way) on Saturday for the first time on a bike. It didnt go so well due to being incredibly out of shape, but I'm working on it. I'm currently using a cheap mtn bike until I get my tax return and can afford to invest in something more suited to my needs. My wife and I love to hike, but doing trails on a bike doesn't really interest me, as a bicycle is more of an alternative to a car than a recreational thing for me. We both want new bikes (price cap of around 400 each, and we will need a trailer for our 2 small children), and my question is if folding bikes are a viable option. We tend to travel frequently, and being able to fold them up and put them in the trunk of a car would be awesome. I also have to keep my bike in the break room at work to keep it from being stolen. Will something with 20 inch wheels be hard to ride?
