the thing is that i've never actually seen an actual human with one of these things on.
meh. probably not as hot of an idea.
this is coming up because i've been considering buying a bicycle and just leaving it in detroit. i'd have to find a safe space for it - and i know it's a matter of time before it gets stolen. i have no history on a skateboard, but i've bicycled very long distances very regularly and could easily handle 20-30 km. i could bicycle to ann arbor, even.
it would truly open up my options tremendously.
i'd just rather have an option i can take home with me...i really don't want to leave anything in detroit on a regular basis...
