I only have an electric bike at my disposal, and I suppose I can something smallish in its various panniers and baskets, but I do run into minor accidents now and then and I don't want to know what'll happen to the scope (or me!) if that happens (and even if it can fit in a bagpack, there's no guarantee that it will not not smash into the ground if I take a spill)!
These days I just learnt to borrow scopes and hitch rides with other people. The 8" dob rented from the club mostly makes trips from my apartment to the building's rooftop.
My only advice is to go for the 8" (or 10"!) and make friends who are willing to ferry you around.
