I wish it
comes the day people will go to work by rollerblades. Hehe, I mean, not everyone, of course. As I’ve seen other day on
TV, people are really considering rollerblades as a way of transportation! I
really don’t know how to skate on them, but it is indeed something worth thinking.
Rollerblades
are human-powered transportation; physically challenging and would make you fit;
they take you faster than walking, but, on the other hand, limited to short
distances, perhaps, from 8 to 16
km . It is better you find paved walkways as well. Oh, I
don’t think it’s too much of pessimism – we all have options and we consider setbacks
for things, it’s like that for everyone, isn’t it?
Places such
as universities campi are promoting diverse types of transportation. The University of Western Ontario
Scott Olson,
who improved inline skates, promotes his invention as a fitness product on his
personal page. The rollerblades certainly make you fit, but the upside is that
you can view transportation differently. I believe when the city I live in
starts to create opportunities to sustainable transportation, I will try my
balance on those!
