In January, 2002, a mention of this apparently was featured in a skating magazine called "Daily Bread." I received a flurry of email messages from outraged, humorless roller skaters. These messaages show a surprising level of reasoning and articulateness.
In the interest of fairness, I'm letting some of these roller skaters have their say:

From: [email protected] Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 21:44:50 EST Subject: 101 reasons To: captbikeat-symbol sheldonbrown.com i dont know if youre the one who wrote the 101 reasons thing but if you were then youre a complete idiot, if i had the time to re-read all of those reasons and explain to you why each and every one makes you more and more ignorant as your bable continues then i would but like i said i dont have the time. you need to stop with your stupidity and keep idiotic thoughts like those to yourself because all they will do is make people hate you like i now do. you should go back and read some of the crap you wrote and see that alot of it clashes with previous remarks you made, like one for example is the one blader takes up the space of 2 bikers, then you go and say bikers are easier to see at night becuase you are BIGGER...is it just me or do those two comments clash?? see you are an idiot.

Who gives a rats ass about power bars? Oh wait you do. Baskets? Bells? Do you have a banana seat and frilly things sticking out of your handle bars too? Yup tandem is pretty gay. How do you figure that rollerblading is trendy when you say that there are more bikers than rollerbladers? We don't have to strap anything to our skates, we have these amazing new things called HANDS that we can carry stuff with. You should try them , oh wait you're too busy holding on to your handle bars. #8. We can stop. This obviously means that everyone who has ever put rollerblades on is still rolling, correct? #12. Never need to buy eight new wheels. Don't bikes get flat tires, dents, rusty, worn out tread? Yes. Can you grind handrails? No... that's funny because I can. I've seen plenty of bikers fall on their nuts, plus their shitty pieces of metal destroy the nice handrails for everyone else. Get more air ... what exactly does that mean? Can you get air , probably not. No need to lock skates up because they are always on your feet. Skateboarders don't hate rollerbladers but they do hate bikers.Where are you from if you think one skater takes up as much space as 2 gay asses on bikes? If you wreck, you can just hop off your little fairycycles unlike rollerbladers who have to take the pain. If you think that there are no movies, magazines, or books about rollerblading you must not get out of your cave a lot. Reflectors = homosexual. Piss on More scab ,Utah.No extreme rollerblading? Really, then what are the X-games about? More colors- how many variations of pink do you wanton your bike? No need for roof racks because skates fit in the trunk.Rollerbladers aren't hillbillies that's why they aren't in any mountains. We don't need a pump because we don't get any gay ass flat tires.A plastic boot, especially to the balls, makes a great weapon. Imagine if everyone in the U.S. traded their skates for a banana seat bike. Skates don't track mud and grease and shit everywhere they go. The end. And by the way if you want a real form of transportation buy a car you poor bastard. ---SELL YOUR SOUL TO ROLL---
