I am not, but drops on this bike would be too bulky when folding. Even the M bar is bulkier than the replaced Ritchey bullhorns when folding it, oddly enough.
I rode 12.5 miles rt on it just now, with attention to bar comfort. While it's more comfortable than the bullhorns or, say, a straight mtb bar, or North Road bars, even during the return I found my left palm starting to tingle, and that the riding position (not adjustable, given the Dahon's design) puts too much weight on arms and shoulders -- tho' I daresay I would get used to this particular feeling if I rode the Dahon more. The M bar does give good steering control, which I did need with the 25 rear load wagging the bike.
