Alternative commuting modes

Zipppy

I walk about 30 mins into city as my commute but debating getting a push scooter to speed up commute.
I see very little people using scooters or roller blades or whatever...i would have thought modes like these would be more popular.. saw lots of folk on scooters etc in Lisbon last year..

Video on BBC this week of a German man commute by swimming down a river to work.

There a few people with high end push scooters on the docklands train. Good few folding bikes, through fewer of both now since there isn't room for a wafer thin mint most of the time.

Phil.x

Why not a fold up bike and take it into the office.

push scooter or electric scooter would be grand! I've seen a few solo wheels about too - look class

L1011

I skated from Docklands to my previous job about three times before giving it up.

The stairs and Sheriff Street way was implausible to skate back up and doing it on the flat (under Sheriff Street down the canal and then Mayor Street) felt like everyone in the apartments were laughing at someone 'too old' for a skateboard.

So I stopped

Skateboards are the most easily carriable on a crowded train of the lot though; although a tradational skater backpack will take someones eye out.
