Skateboards: toys or transportation?
I must admit, I kind of chuckle when I see some guy in a beard kicking along the street on a skateboard. In my world, skateboards were a toy that you gave up when you turned 16 or so, along with your little green army men.
However, I walk a lot, and when I see one of these hipster adults kicking along on their skateboard, they're making pretty good time. As a means of transportation, they appear to be somewhere between walking and bicycling in terms of speed and/or efficiency. So what's your take on it? Is a skateboard a viable means of transportation that should get the respect it deserves? Could a 50 year-old woman use one without shame? Or is it more of a young person's tool/toy that is more gimmick and image than a legitimate transportation option? |
