You’ve seen them before - whizzing past as you jog your favorite urban trail. They weave easily around pedestrians, occasionally catching air on various concrete and asphalt obstacles.

Break out the blades
Imagine that you are skating down the trail with the sun streaming through the trees, no one else is in sight but the cyclist up ahead. You are feeling the stress of your busy work week dissipating as you concentrate on the rhythmic stroke and glide, and the soft hum of your wheels and bearings. As you pass joggers and dog-walkers, you think to yourself how great it is to glide past them on your skates feeling strong and powerful.
