Inline-skating is fun. But not everyone likes it. There are people who are afraid to fall. There are people who like other sports better. You need to be able to balance yourself when you skate. When you are able to do so, you can go faster and farther. There are few places in Singapore where inline skates can be rented. One of these places is the East Coast Park. It feels good to skate and enjoy the sea breeze at the same time. It is better for those who are learning to skate to visit the East Coast Park on weekdays. There are fewer cyclists and skaters on the track on weekdays.
