Unconventional Transportation

Another week, another r/RPG Challenge. I won the first week I participated. This week's challenge is this:

Current Challenge

The challenge for this week is titled Unconventional Transportation. Jump gates, teleportation, and horse drawn carriages are so passé. I want you to come up with new ways of getting around. I know I'm not the only one who loved the idea of [3] Silt Striders  and [4] Improbability Drives. Let's see some other novel ways of getting from one place to another.

Here is my entry :

Jake walked into the booth and typed in his destination, "London, England" and waited. It shouldn't be too long, there was usually someone ready to swap between London and Atlanta at any given time and this was no exception. Just two minutes later a message popped up on the screen telling Jake he'd need 142lbs.

"Whoa, you got two people with you over there?" Jake muttered to himself as he started unhooking weights from the booth's wall and strapping them to himself to even out the weight in the two booths. Once he had the 142 lbs on, 40 of it sitting on his feet because he just couldn't stand straight with that much weight on him, he reached out and grasped the transfer bars.

One brief flash of light and a tingling sensation later and Jake was in London, weights and all. He hung them on the hooks in the booth and climbed out and walked into the street.
