.I guess it is quite common that the antivirus takes care of problems without you knowing, but of course a scanning is always smart. I use more than one program to be on the safe side.

If folded size and neatness in a rideable bike is the aim, accept no substitutes - Brompton wins every time. If you're going to factor in price, riding position, gearing etc, the Mini is the winner. Get a bag, and nobody will mind it in the office.

Sammyboy, have you been away or did paths never cross. All I would add is that for the larger person you may find the DT mini has better brakes and less flex. Test riding is the only answer. The mini is a great bike. It may come down to the specifics of your commute - do you need to carry up/down stairs, space on the public transport of your choice, etc etc etc.
