Legal EXCEPT in the Arboretum, which all but made me hang up my blades. Great route for skating. Maybe the roads are too narrow? Yet, it's the Arb, people are supposed to deal with all different kinds of traffic. OK, done questioning authority (for now).

At one time roller skis came under the category of toys but evolution of the law made roller skiing/blading on roads legal. Rely on Clayton's opinion.

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.
