Somebody nominated bicylces as being more bother than they are worth. I
concur, based only on the difficulty of stowing three of them on our 36
foot boat. We have relied upon Razor folding scooters (those aluminum
kick-powered affairs that all the kids were using) and have been very well
pleased. Folds small - stows small. Minimum moving parts. Easy to
repair. Easy to carry into the restaurant / grocery store / church
(unlike a bike.)
And indeed one travels at about 3x a walking pace, by simply walking when
faced with an upgrade, kicking gently on the level, and riding gleefully
when going down grade. I even rode 17 miles round trip for dinner one
night in San Francisco. A very practical land-transport option for
cruisers.
