Commuting 17 miles each way on a brompton...foolhardy?

Its more the underground than train and boy are they expensive.

I am thinking I should just man up and do the journey 4 times a week

I try and do about 16 miles a day on mine, but it's all on roads and bike paths.

I'm not sure how well it would fare off road given the small wheels and smooth tyres, but that's only because I have no experience of it.

I am still not convinced and my wants maybe out voting my needs.

I rode my Brommie last week for the first time in ages, with a bit of stony, gravel trail included. It's ok if you don't compare it to other bikes and are not in a hurry. The 8-speed SA hub was very pleasant.
