Cars, Streetcars, parked cars on both sides of the road, right through a business district and rolling downhill for about a 1/4 mile. Just plain unsafe.

On sidewalks I have been skateboards break up people walking on the sidewalks. Sorry sidewalks are for pedestrians ONLY, it is unsafe for anything else, including bicycles.

After I wrote the above, I saw another teenager do it again on Saturday. In fact I have seen more skateboarders to unsafe acts on public streets then I have ever saw bicyclist do. Maybe because I do visit into a urban area every weekend. I do not see such acts in rural areas or suburban areas, but I have seen it done extensively in inner cities and older (75 years plus) suburbs.
