You have to deal with stop lights as you go through towns, but most of the way the travel isn't that much slower than the interstate and you get to actually see thing and get a sense of place. Also a sense of history as much of what's off the US Highway is decaying.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848821084269314215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-90182869666146929022013-12-10T10:55:23.498-06:002013-12-10T10:55:23.498-06:00I'd put skateboarding at the same level as wal...I'd put skateboarding at the same level as walking. Riding a skateboard makes me hyper aware of my surroundings. On regularly traveled routes I know where the cracks, crooked sidewalks and manhole covers are. I am on a constant lookout for new spots. And because when you're on a skateboard, no rules apply. Skate down the middle of streets the wrong way, cross streets at will, weave between traffic, etc. I've built a strong relationship with urban space that I credit to skateboarding.
