So the sweet spot seems to be a 3-6 mile journey.
I use mine to connect dots and make journeys by bike that I might not otherwise have done. Basically, running around central London to meetings, and commuting by train and doing a 2 mile each way commute to and from the office.
There's also no cycle parking at work (that I would trust my nice bikes to), though there is secure parking 250m from the new office. Thinking of getting a lower priced Surly for commuting as the Brompton isn't so good when I do the 15 mile each way full commute.
Somewhere around mile 8-9 the Brompton starts to be a bit tiring and uncomfortable.
