   @christianp Shame about no batteries: I feel like the most appropriate way for a mathematician to get around campus is on a Segway

     In the middle of another day in the office where I've tired myself out walking back and forth across campus, I think I really should get myself something to move more efficiently while I'm in town.

     Can anyone suggest some options? I'm 198cm tall and just under 100kg, and in the UK.

     I don't think I could leave a full-sized bike here - can't leave it in my office and there's no locked bike shelter near my building. I live an hour-ish bike ride from work, so riding my bike in is fun sometimes but definitely doesn't help with the tiredness problem!

     Is there a cheapish folding bike that could take me?

     Or a scooter?

     I'm not thinking of anything electric - we're currently not allowed to keep the batteries in our offices, and the distances are short enough that I don't really need motor assistance anyway.
