Pedestrian modes of transport?

[V4NT0M]

Semi serious topic...

Cars are expensive, I like to walk but it's quite slow, especially over longer distances, I want to get something that will help me from get from place to place faster than walking (running is not an option carrying a laptop and stuff).

Must be;
Cheap
Portable
faster than walking

Could I unicycle to work?

Push bike? Rollerblades?

I suspect a Segway might fail on all three counts.

Pushbike, rioller skates, those kangaroo shoes.

TBH there's nothing really things liek segways would be brilliant for short trips to work. but they are illegal on roads/footpaths..
The government needs to change the laws so it's easier for small forms of transports.

The trouble inherent in Segways is that you look like an utter plank

A unicycle. I have one. It's great.

Cheap-ish and you can use it on stairs and one spot as well as moving, the only problem is it only goes a bit faster than you can run, if you're going fast, and has a steep learning curb, especially for jumping.

But worth every penny. Be a man, get a car.

I disagree, but that's a point of opinion.
