I'd like to get an evaluation on just how good/fucking terrible/meh of an idea the following is: small skateboard/kick-scooter kept in cubicle for downtown office worker who carpools.

 

The basic gist of it is that I work in a downtown environment about 20 miles in a direct line from my house, 25 if I follow roads and avoid blatantly treacherous terrain. I carpool 2/3 times a week, where I don't have access to my emergency bag and supply cache in my car, because fuck gas prices and wear and tear. I keep an emergency, non-military style bag in my cube with no suspicions from my liberal coworkers, with enough food, water and misc supplies to last 2-3 days of hiking.

 

Many of said liberal coworkers have skateboards/kick scooters they use to get around the immediate urban environment around my office, and keep them in their cubicles, so if I do the same there'd be no weird looks. I've seen some of them using skateboards small enough to be strapped to a backpack that are still capable of bearing both their and their work/gym bag's weight.

 

If I lock a bike to an outside bike rack, at best it'd have to sit there semi-permanently as I won't be able to take it on the carpool, and I'd have the car on the other days. At worst, somebody's going to steal it. Would having a skateboard/kickscooter to move faster on the parts of my hike that have suitable terrain for it and save me some time and energy be a good idea? Or is it just a stupid pipe dream?
