I've been playing for a decent amount of time now and it appears that both bike and skates have almost the same effect. They allow for off-grid roam and can give you a decent amount of movement. The only thing difference between them two is that skates don't work on tall grass, although still able to off-grid roam, while skates allow for more maneuverability and is always ready when you need it. Now the question applies.

Which do you prefer? Roller Skates or Bikes?

I am not good at controlling the skate, and we can't use it through the grasses, so I'll opt with Bike instead.

I've been using the roller skates more since they're more convenient than the bicycle (even though they are a bit harder to maneuver at first, but you get used to them), and they go at the same pace as the bicycle as well.

You can do a lot of cool tricks and stunts with your roller skates, but I still prefer the old-fashioned bicycle over them. Bikes have brakes, so they are quite easy to stop. Skates, on the other hand, aren't very easy. You are able to stop your roller skates from moving forward one way or another, but they don't stop exactly where you want them to—they stop only when their wheels completely lose speed, which takes time. Roller skates are okay to travel with if you're able to master them, but if not, then bikes are simply the better option for you. I've figured out a way to remove the skates by equipping yourself with the dowsing machine, but it could get a little annoying to run around with it constantly. D:

Definitely the bicycle :D

I just learned how to manouver with the skates, so I prefer them now. I don't miss the bike, but I do get it I won't use the bike.

Loving the skates now.

Bikes for the win, BUT it is rather annoying that you don't come out on your bike again after entering a building (or something similar). It'd be better if we could switch between using the circle pad for the bike/skates with the L/R buttons, or something like that.

I love both. :D
The reason for loving bike is because of the Bike Theme. It doesn't sound like your usual Bike Theme, but I love it.
As for the roller skates, I don't know how to do it in real life. :( Being able to do it in game is like a big {XD} moment for me. :)

I really don't like the skates. I slide around too much when I use them, so I'll either use the D-Pad to move without them, or the bike. The bike's pretty nice, actually; riding it around Cyllage City was pretty fun!
