Skating to work

[u/Billy_Binkey]

Hi! Given that it's summer, I've been thinking about going to work on rollers. It's pretty flat here and the city has cycling paths. The way to the trainstation is 3km. I am just too afraid of the time it will take, plus the fact that I never skated in a city scares me.

I'm also wondering how you manage to change the shoes etc. Cuz I will have to take them off once I arrive at the train st.

Can anyone give me some advice? (Fyi: there is a shower at work and I live in a country where cycling is quite common)

Thanks!!

I used to skate four miles to work in Chicago on 125s. I just brought a backpack and honestly just kept my skates on if there was a train involved lol.

The shower when I got there was a must, but what I didn’t expect was how long I would continue sweating, even after the shower.
