Hey Boaz, try contacting Chris Goodwin in Seattle. He developed a conversion kit for a variety of vehicles to run on vegetable oil. He might know people using that and other alternative modes of transport. Here's his information:

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see rollerblades or roller skates on here. If you could find someone with a pogo ball. Those were pretty awesome. My final thought is that it's too warm in the lower 48 for any sled-dogging, but that would have been cool. Sorry for the pun.

I've seen roller skis (for practicing cross country skiing). They look like fun.

Did you include the DC Metro train/DC subway?

what about hot air ballooning / gliding? http://www.800soaring.com/Hot_Air_Balloon_Ride.htm

also consider skateboarding, riding in a shopping cart.

riding in a shopping cart comes from dc's "Idiotarod"
