The only defence which has come close is N*Sync's 'bye-bye-byecycle'.

This design is pretty cool. If you geared the linkage-string-ratchet system high, you could go much faster than regular skates. My guess is they had a pretty high mortality rate which is why we don't all have a pair now.

Maybe it is irrelevant because as soon as they notice the bikeshoes, the topic is instantly the bikeshoes.

they need to allow the foot to move up and down so that you can plant your foot completely if you want to stop rolling for a moment. there should also be gears attached to the boot so that as you put your weight on it, it transfers the energy of the boot moving down slightly into turning the wheels. then you don't have to swing side-to-side like an idiot. when you lift your foot, the boot is pulled slightly upward (relative to wheels) by a spring, reloading it. each time you plant it, the wheels will get accelerated, and that will be enough to propel you. it would be sort of like rocking your peddles on a bike - each foot moves up and down, moving you forwards.
