Rollers that have 2 bends fold up to roughly the same size as a trainner, maybe a little thicker. I've carried my minoura rollers raceside to warm up for a crit or two.

Can you still buy non-folding rollers?
Yup, Tacx Rollertrack are the one's i used.

Free motion rollers from E-Motion. Good Luck, see my thread for a couple of hints on what i learn along the way.
Thanks for the compliments on my mcguiver'd rig. Sorry if i'm hogging
