why exactly does it suck? I live less than 2 miles from the park, it takes me about 5-6 minutes, my legs are warmed up when I get there and I don't have to deal with parking. The fact that I have been skating for 37 years and riding a bike for 38 means that both are pretty much ingrained in my psyche, though I look at a bike as transportation not really as entertainment hence the reason i only have two bikes (3 if you count my motorcycle) but 10 skateboards
