>Skateboard to bus station 1 mile away in 6 minutes (instead of walking 10-15)>Board bus go to another bus station 1 mile from destination>Skateboard 1 mile to destination in 6 minutes>Electric skateboards make it even betterIt's more portable than bicycles (meaning it can be used intermodally), faster than walking, and less of a hassle than roller blades.

Disadvantages: can't use if it's crowded, Needs good roads, people look down on you, more dangerous than other modes.
