Liberty - I'm an inline skater and I use it as one of my non-impact cross training exercises. I find that it helps me with core strength and also gives my legs a nice stretch without pushing them to the limit. Inline skating is my exercise of choice as my last session before a big ride and as my choice the day after a big ride. So, yes, I think it is a good cross-training choice for a cyclist.
