This entry is currently being actively collaborated on. One skater/philanthropist has offered $1000 in fundraising money towards one of the key roadskating events in the US (the Tour to Tanglewood in Greensboro, North Carolina, a fundraiser to fight Multiple Sclerosis) for people who contribute to the road skating entry. To be considered, send email to dreeves@gmail.com with a one-sentence summary of your contribution. Here is a growing To-do list to get everyone started:

 [A2A] Special mention of Athens to Atlanta (and perhaps a dedicated wikipedia entry for it)
 [TTT] Tour to Tanglewood, and special mention of Joey Cheek, with appropriate cross-citations to ice speedskating
 [BRK] Discussion of braking with links to several different braking options, including the Gatorbrake.
 [MAR] Discussion of marathons, especially the huge ones like Duluth
 [EUR] Racing in Europe and Korea
 [WHL] Wheels and a history of the evolution of wheel sizes
 [LNK] Appropriate cross-linking with the other wikipedia entries

 [PIC] A couple pictures, of skaters in a paceline perhaps
 [ICE] Link to ice touring like Elfstedentocht
