I've noticed that several people on BF also inline skate. Maybe you could help me out with something (non-skater input OK, too).

I want to start either biking or skating again. I also want to remain car-free (or light if need be) in the coming years. I'd like my choice of exercise to fit with my car-whatever goals. I'm in college now, and I live <0.5 miles from campus, so I don't need to go long distances at the moment. But in the future, if/when longer commutes become necessary, do you think skates could cover my commuting needs?

I've also asked a skating forum, and am waiting for replies.

I'd love some input, cause I've been going back and forth for the last few days. Thanks
