I own bikes and a longboard and the later is not really a replacement for the former anyway. You see a lot of skaters carrying their skate in a bikepack by bike to the skatepark. Surely if skating is their passion and the longboard would be a perfect medium/longer distance solution they would use one to carry their smaller skateboard to the skatepark. Yet you never see that.

Of course it depends on your commute and the quality of the pavement where you live. Right now I'm blessed with smooth asphalt pavement and a nice gentle slope most of the way to work, and then I can skate flat + walk a steep hill going home. Previously I lived in London and commuted by longboard there as well. Obviously flat but the surface quality of the pavement was a lot worse, so my knees did complain more.
