So it's getting more and more tedious walking to my classes on campus, and I am in need of portable transportation that I can take on the bus home with me. No, not a bike. Actually, my bike's been at my friend's house for about 2 years now with a flat tire, but I've just been too lazy and cheap to get it fixed. Although it would be cheaper to fix it, I want another mode of transportation that's small enough for me to carry under my arm or hold with one hand and take with me to class without tying it up to a pine tree (ie a scooter or skateboard) So is there anyone out there who know where to get one of these devices on the interweb or at a store for low prices but good quality?

if everythings coming your way, youre in the wrong lane. sAviOr 4evar!

How about those mini-scooters? Or how about those shoes that turn into skates? All these options will make me laugh at you though.

Edit: Yes skateboard is probably the best option so far...

roller skates are bomb.

But bike is the most efficient way to get. How large is your campus?

Rip sticks are what there called... google it their dope!

You can fix your bike in under 5 mins and it will cost you close to nothing. Bike! (says the Dutch guy)

I use to sell a much less ugly version called heeleys as fairs ....

lol

They seem like a good idea, but they aren't =(..... Ankel support of roller skates/ blades is a key factor in them being cool.

Buy a longboard if you cant skateboard but otherwise a skateboard is just as fast. Walk though.

I've always wanted a Segway, but I think it's a little too big for your requirements.

I hate people who act like skateboards are a means of effecient transportation. If you dont know how to use one already, it will take you awhile to get the hang of it and skateboards + campus would be a massive pain in the ass (atleast mine where it's you know... not a concrete desert of smooth road =\. There are bumps and shit dude)

So somehow these bumps magically disappear while on skates or a bike? Tell me more...

Also, riding a skateboard is so fucking easy it is not even funny. My three year old cousin rides mine which is taller than him, if you can't figure out a skateboard you probably shouldn't be in college, if I were you I would seriously evaluate my life and start hating on things that actually matter, and things that make sense...

My school's campus is made up of three different parts, north, central, and south. I used to bring my skateboard to get from south to north, but now I just walk. Its just as efficient and less troublesome because of the shitty sidewalks and busy roads preventing me from using the nice, smooth, street pavement.
But if you have a campus thats mostly flat and smooth, and you wont have to get off the board to go up a sidewalk (or even down if you really dont know how to ride a board) then it could be worth it. If you have to get off and pick it up to move over small bumps and shit though, not only will you look foolish but itll also take more time than just walking.

Edit - and to the post above me... hes saying itll be harder to ride a board if the street isnt flat and smooth, so you misunderstood what he was saying

A bike wheel is over 10 times the size of a skateboard wheel by diameter, it's pretty obvious why a bike would handle rough terrain better. It's also clearly faster.
