Now get this: they are pretty much ALL illegal in this country for use on public footpaths and roads.

Even electric bicycles have absurd restrictions.

Killjoy, nanny state failing to practise what it preaches? Or just an out of date, slow to react government? Or the right course of action?

I went out on my skateboard today. I haven't forgotten how. Keen skateboarder in my time, me.
