Richland, WA (PRWEB) February 9, 2004 -- Gas prices now force consumers and
commuters to consider alternatives to fuel burning vehicles, especially for
short commute trips. TrailSkate offers a new form of personal transportation
that is both fun and healthy.
One small step to reduce global warming,
every time you TrailSkate instead of driving, you eliminate CO2 emissions,
reduce your dependency on foreign oil, and save money at the gas
pumps.
Manufactured by Gateskate, Inc. in Richland, Washington;
TrailSkate was awarded “New Sports Product of the Year ’02” by the Sporting
Goods Manufacturers Association. www.gateskate.com
Used by Olympic athletes and Nordic
skiers for training; hundreds of other recreational athletes use TrailSkate for the sheer joy of off-road skating.
Equipped with 8 X 2 inch air tires, hand operated hydraulic brakes, and
a boot that fits over the user’s own shoes, TrailSkate provides skaters of all
ages and ability a viable, fun, and healthy form of personal transportation,
suitable for any bike path or trail.
TrailSkate inventor and founder of
Gateskate, Inc., Patrick Gates is looking for a few good skaters. In a new
Gateskate initiative to promote skating as a viable form of personal
transportation, the company is offering a “Commuter Special” to customers who
assist Gateskate in spreading the word.
The average Park-and-Ride
commuter travels 2 miles to transit access.
40 percent of all travel trips
are 2 miles or less.
53 percent of all people nationwide live less than two
miles from the nearest public transportation route.
74.1 percent of all
commute trips were made by Single Occupant Vehicles (SOV’s).
TrailSkate
commutes replace short distance motor-vehicle trips, which are the least
fuel-efficient and generate the most pollution per mile traveled.
Moreover, three activities can be accomplished at once: travel, exercise
and FUN.
Corporations interested in co-promotion opportunities and
Commute Trip Reduction programs concerning Single Occupant Vehicles are
encouraged to contact Gateskate about Clean Air Act initiatives and Federal tax
incentives.
For persons interested in a fun and healthy form of personal
transportation that saves you gas money and helps the environment, call
Gateskate, Inc. at our toll free number 800 936 5330, visit our website www.gateskate.com, or email
