Is this too long to consider a folder, should I look around for a used street bike instead?
That depends entirely on the folder and how comfortable and efficient it is for you. I've commuted 25 miles (one way) on a Bike Friday New World Tourist and rode a century (not commuting, but with a light touring load) on my Swift Folder.
