Wouldn't work out on this commute. The bit I don't want to ride on a daily basis is the horribly hilly bit towards the end.bonj said:

Dahon Impulse.
24 gears on an Sram hub, Big Apple tyres - thicker tyres and stronger wheels than their Speed version so will handle roads better.
Rides and feels like a real bike. The fold is not as easy or as small as a Brompton, and you'll need to keep an 8mm and a 6mm spanner for minor adjustments to hinges and things, but it's a great ride.

From early next year apparently, there'll be a folding Grasshopper:

If that folds in 60 seconds, and is the size they say, well, it may not be the most convenient answer to Chuffy's question, but it certainly solves the problem of wanting a 'bent and not having the space!
Now, there's just the problem of not having the money!
