At a local skate park I've been told the same thing. The issue is the
metal pegs and bar ends will damage the concrete. Also the grinding
surfaces were made for grinding w/ soft aluminum or plastic and the
steel would tear it up.
Also safety was an issue since bikes and skateboards sometimes take
different lines, it's harder to hear a bike coming if someone doesn't
see it and a bike can hurt more if it hits someone.
Put plastic pedals on or aluminum ones w/ pedal protectors and the pins
removed. Then explain how there will be nothing hard to hit the
concrete, or mess w/ the grinding surfaces, and it's unlikely the uni
would ever hit anyone.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist
