Yes, rolling on a set of wheels along a paved path is what defines a person as gay. It wouldn't have anything to do with dating someone of the same gender as yourself. The mentality around here some days...

For Cardio I can get into similar heart rate training zones compared to biking and running. Mountain biking 120-170 range Running 130-180 range and "rollerblading" 130-170 so the drop off isn't big. Factor in that it is low impact and I have yet to be injured rollerblading it seems to be a good way to cross train. Also builds muscle groups that are hard to hit and will make you a better runner/biker as a result.
I can't deny being out on the paths and having people give you the gay look though. It is a very strong stigma but not enough to keep me from hitting the paths. Growing up as a skater this is my excercising on wheels fix and is good for core/cardio/stability/balance etc. and besides it keeps me from being mid age guy on a skateboard Things from the 90's come back

It's cool, as mentioned before I have rollerblades somewhere in my garage too.
I've already lined up 3 dates for next week because of this thread.

It depends, if the wheels are attached to little booties then yes, yes it defines them as gay.

The best place for Rollerblading is 1992.
Alternatively - traffic.

Man, when you take a sharp blade off something and add wheels to it, it sure looks faggy.

On a more serious note; there are a bunch of good recommendations for blading, skating, biking, hiking locations on travel websites like Tripadvisor, Yelp, etc.
Here's one

I have seen some replacement wheels priced locally at prices where it is almost worth buying a new pair of rollerblades/inline skates. Almost as bad as printer ink. Sell cheap quality wheels and wait for the replacment orders to come in.
