Folding bikes are about as stupid as roll-up sails.

Get a real bike, the kind with full-sized wheels that
are of the quick release type. Remove the wheels and
bungee them to the frame. The package will be just
as small as a folding bike but you will have a real
bike that performs and doesn't have sucky little
wheels and excess weight.

I hope this helps.

I find myself at a crossroad and soliciting comments on folding bikes.

I want one with speeds, My ~35 year old folding bike has been through
numerous tires and even a couple of wheels. When it was new it was a
three speed but when that rear hub died the local shops told me they
couldn't get one with speeds so I settled for what was in stock.
