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.

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

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.
