Dave,

 

It is legal.  Looks like City of Madison only bans use in muni parking 
facilities.

Subject: [Bikies] Roller Skiing on Madison roads legal?

 

I was screamed at by a passing car on Regent just east of Franklin (west side) 
that roller skiing was 'illegal and dangerous'. Never been told this before. 
Anyone know the law? I was as close to the right curb as possible, going in the 
direction of traffic.

 

Dave
