Get your skates on for the UK’s first National Inline Skating Week. All the dates are listed below. But before you start rolling, remember the UKISA skating guidlines:
Considerate. Skate on the left, pass on the right announcing your directions to others with hand and voice signals where appropriate.
Legal. Follow national and local laws governing skating and the Highway Code when on the road.
Aware. Take road and weather conditions into account.
Safe. Wear a cycle or skate helmet together with wrist, knee and elbow protection. Make regular equipment checks and repair or replace where necessary. Wear lights and hi visibility clothing where appropriate.
Skill. Skate in areas that are suitable for your skill level — and aim to further improve your skills.
