Even as "toys", to my knowledge there's nothing that would make them
illegal, any more than skateboards or kick scooters. It's the motorized
toys that are illegal.

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

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

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.
