I just got back from a month-long camping trip from San Francisco to Alaska. In addition to 150 pounds of camping gear, I carried two folding bikes in a Cessna 172. I removed the rear seats to allow for more cargo space.
I own a Schwinn 20-inch bike and a Dahon Vitesse bike. The Dahon fits nicely in the baggage compartment, though I had to remove its luggage rack to get it through the baggage door. The Schwinn takes some maneuvering, but I was able to load it through the front doors.
It was a little unpleasant to unpack and repack the airplane -- it took about an hour each time, given how much gear I had. But oh man, the folding bikes were invaluable.
If your on-the-ground distances are smaller, and the roads are paved well, I would consider carrying a Razor scooter instead of a folding bike. It doesn't travel as fast, and there's no shock absorbers so your wrists will get tired, but it's about the easiest and most portable ground transportation I own.
If you're willing to carry it around, a midsize scooter is both faster and more maneuverable than a skateboard or longboard. I use one of these and can get from Rieber Terrace to La Kretz in about 10 minutes. The downhill speed when compared to a board is much higher since you can break much later.
Might want to consider getting a kick scooter. I just bought this one and on Friday rode it all the way from Bethesda to the Roosevelt Memorial via the Capital Crescent Trail, and then all over the city.
I like scooters because they're easier to use than bikes, safer, and infinitely more portable. You always have one foot close to the ground so the likelihood of wiping out is extremely small. You can push off the ground with your kicking foot and easily go over curbs and other obstacles with barely a pause. Razor scooters fold up almost instantly so you can carry them on the Metro and stash them anyplace in an office. Plus, they're much cheaper and easier to maintain than a bike.
Of course they don't go as fast as a bike, but I can easily go at least twice as fast as jogging speed with hardly any work.
It's how I get to work every day.

I know you asked where you could find one locally, but all the ones I've seen people riding to work have been (I think) adult Razors like this or this one by a different brand.
