Holy crap! After all these years, I finally saw my first Segway!

[M A V I C]

[quote davester]They basically fill exactly the same function as a bicycle, except that they are slower, have no positive effect on your health, and cost waaaaay more money. A solution in search of a problem.
Add to that they take up more space, pollute more, take less skill to drive which results in recklessness...

[quote $tevie]I still think they would be great for urban postal carriers, but I guess they are too expensive.
This city uses them for the people who collect change from parking meters. They work great for that.
