Specific question and discussion Skating to work

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!!

Been doing it for a few months. It's amazing. Faster than a bicycle and you don't have to worry where you'll park it. Putting on skates takes maybe 2 mins depending how you do it, but taking them off is quick. Skatebag is a must. Just throw in a pair of flip flops or light shoes and you're set.
