Is there anyone here who uses portable transportation like folding bikes, roller blades, scooters, and skateboards to get around foreign cities?
I've always thought it would be a good idea to pack something like a folding bike or roller blades into your airplane luggage and use it to see a city. It looks very convenient and cheap to have transportation like this instead of having to walk, take the bus, or rent a car.
I was thinking of just renting bikes, but now this got me thinking of bringing my skateboard instead to save me some extra cash.

With fees most airlines charge for oversized luggage and special items, prolly rental is better.
I love a Segway tour. They're pretty fun. Guided too. Done them in 8 citites now. I highly recommend D.C. and San Francisco. Miami Beach is near the top as well.
Surly makes a couple frames with s&s couplings in the middle of the frame, and you can take it apart and pack it into a bag that can be checked on a plane.

Or buy a used bike once you get there. Sell it when you leave. Has to be better than riding the thing pictured.
