longboarding is great, obviously biking is more efficient, but there is no feeling like cruising a smooth skateboard. Anytime that the weather is nice and time is not a factor, I'll cruise my longboard or my mini, but that might just be the surfer in me. Check out silverfishlongboarding.com for great skating forums. Also I think the person who posted above me is also on the site, I've seen the pink and the green bike on there a couple times.
