Where do you live?
edit: I live in lower manhattan so I usually bike on the bike path along the west side highway and cut 3-4 blocks across town once I get uptown. I regularly see people rollerblading on the path as well(and hogging the entire lane might I add with their big strides... pisses me off) and I see them cut across town as well.
Not sure about the rules with rollerblades on sidewalks though. My guess is that it's allowed since you're not really going that fast and have more control than a bike.

Who cares?
Go find the chicks.
Once October hits they will be covering up again.

I can say for certain rollerblading on the streets of NYC is not a good idea so stay with the sidewalk, I'm sure you're ok. I've biked on sidewalks myself when streets are too dangerous, I just go slower, that or I dismount and walk.

Inline skating is a great way to meet chicks. Especially one's that need help.

It's illegal to skate, inline skate, scooter, bike, or any of the sort on NYC sidewalks and subways. I've been inline skating 😛 since i was probably 10 and i'm now 26 and i've always gone on the sidewalk and subways without issue. Well there was this one time that this female cop with a stick up her ass asked me to take my skates off on a subway platform once and i refused so she threatened to fine me $60, but she just let go after bitching at me for a bit, think i was 17 at the time. So unless you find a cop that's really bored or has a stick up their ass, no one is going to bother you about skating, but they will definitely give you a ticket if you're on a bike, that really bothers them for some reason heh.

Not really. It has only diluted the Rollerblade brand name and trademark. Just like Xerox which has spent millions to preserve their brand name.
People will say Rollerblade or Rollblading and not even think about the company.

I hear few people call it kleenex - usually just "a tissue" here.

According to NYCSK8, skating on sidewalks has not been banned, but there is a reckless skating law.
