I wonder where parking services gets the authority to set such rules, and 
what enforcement do they have.  Say I'm visiting Boulder from LA or 
somewhere, rent some rollerblades and cruise onto campus, what happens?

I can see banning in-line skates because when students wear them into 
buildings they mark up the floors and stretch the carpet.  It seems like 
a safety issue, most skaters and skateboarders have inneficient methods 
of stopping.

Why don't you buy a cheap bike and leave it in Boulder?
