#14I'm not too fond of the design of these things. They look like some kids toy.

#16Can't wait for sidewalk/bikelane wars over this. Too fast for the sidewalk with people walking. Will cyclists give up there precious bike lane space?
You bring up a reasonable point (could this change road/sidewalk safety, how should that be managed, etc.), but perhaps try changing the tone with which you're raising that issue.

#17This is kind of neat, but it negates one of the great benefits of skating (or walking, or running, or bicycling) which is exercise.
I agree. They are quite cool but they are solving a problem I never had. If I had a bunch of money laying around and was bored I would buy these but not otherwise.

#18I think this is a very interesting concept, but stylistically speaking, they are so ugly.
