I am an autistic poorfag and I have to travel 2 hours to reach the nearest bus stop. Will using a skateboard ease my travels.

>2 hour commute on a skate
lmao no
skate is a last mile solution that's even more compact and less practical than a scooter, long journeys on those are miserable. get a bicycle and a beefy chain and leave the bike at the bus stop. you might get away with leaving the chain there instead of lugging it around with you every time.

No, if you have to go the board route you need a longboard not a skateboard. Do not buy a skateboard for transporation.
I'd reccomend a bike, its just better in so many ways.

Perhaps it's better than walking. 2 Hours though? Do you live in Africa? Are the roads even paved?

Yes, but they haven't been maintained since the europeans who did the paving left 50 years ago.

When I started university I thought I would skateboard to class. It was almost exactly 1.8 km between campus and my flat, so almost no distance to speak of at all. The skating lasted exactly one day before I gave up and walked until I got a bicycle.
The point of this story is no, I don't think it will ease your travels.

Florida nigger. I live with my high middle class brother and I have to travel to the poor side of the neighborhood to commute

Overall this thread made me realized I wasted my diminishing money.

a skateboard will cut the travel travel time in half.

consider a crappy beat up beach cruiser that you could lock up near the busstop somewhere? hopefully no one will care to steal it. carry a pump and a wrench and leave it locked up with the wheels removed and the tires deflated so even if they did steal a $20 bike, they would also have to fix it up.

a beach cruiser would probably knock travel time down by 2/3

you could learn to kickflip while waiting for the bus!

If the roads are super rough, you're going to need pneumatic tires, ie. a bike. I'd recommend finding a $100 used 90's mountain bike, though try to have a knowledgeable friend help you not get scammed.

You're supposed to ask the question before you go out and buy something.

Don't skateboard get a midsize nickel board with large longboard wheels or an actual longboard. Skateboards are for skateparks only and not for travel.

I suggest inline triskates for commuting. Will go fast and tolerate shitty paving to some extent.
