Us speedskaters often train with pro cyclist and we have a great relationship. There are stupid people on both sides for sure. Just don't paint us with the same brush.<br /><br />And lastly, the fruitbooter comments. How uncreative.

More than any other group we see eye-to-eye with cyclists in fighting being run over, cursed at and clipped by cars. Any time there is a Pro-cycling rally, all the skaters go to give 100% support- we run these events on our forums and try to help. This hurts a lot considering we feel that bikers and "roller-bladers" are fighting the exact same battles against pushy cars who have no patience for us on the road. We always feel like we are your KIN so to be blasted by our brothers is pretty shitty. We, like you, are trying NOT to pollute, to get exercise, to find alternative transport, to wheel places instead of drive- in short, the same exact reasons you ride a bike, we skate. The hazards you face on a bike, we also face on skates. The hatred you face for spandex, we also face. Now we have to add that cyclists hate us too???? . When I skate (or bike) I stay all the way to the right- yes I need 6 feet wide but we also know the lingo (on your left, slowing and hand signals) I am polite and make sure to stay as far over as I can. Now a lot of cyclists are less than polite and you will also find some cyclists and skaters who are in a real daze and are menaces to all out there. But don't lump us all in that category. You don't like it when based on a few assholes people say "all cyclists run red lights" just because some idiot skater ruined your day.<br /><br />You really need to cut us some slack as we are you 100%. we indentify totally with you- we are one and the same.

This will no doubt be a problem if you're gunning it down a road behind one of them and trying to inch past. Generally however if you use a bell or make your self known you'll find that a skater can take up far less road width than a bike and will be happy to do so to let you past. As for the idea of skaters maybe not being vehicles, it's true, we're 50% grey. As such we can travel as fast as a bike, on pavements or on the street with justification for doing either. Are we pedestrians with strange footwear or road users with minimalist vehicles? which ever suits us / the police.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
