I should admit here I have not been a Segway believer. Ever since I saw Will Arnett straddle one on Arrested Development I have not been able to understand any possible use of the machine other than comic prop. I realize now that this was slightly unfair.
A British MP just defied possible arrest to lead a charge of Segwayists through London, trying to get the Department of Transportation in England to clarify whether they’re legal to drive on roads or not. He points out that in a dense urban area, they go faster than the average speed cars are able to move in traffic, and emit virtually nothing.
I guess my confusion is still this: They go 12 mph. Doesn’t a bicycle go that fast? But I guess if you don’t want to get your suit sweaty… I forget that people still go to offices in suits.

These Segway scooters are not going to put a measurable dent in the bicycle market. The bicycle is a fine thing. The people who can benefit most from the Segway are the ones who are still in cars because they can’t use a bike (bad prostate, no place to keep it, sweating through the suit, marginal knees, …). I’m a card carrying member of that group. Gradually my bike let it be known that we were not right for each other anymore and one day I took it on its last ride, into a soggy humid sunset, to the bike disposal place. About five years after that, I got a Segway scooter.

One notable blogging tool that does not support trackback yet is Blogger. This is similar to comment spam but avoids some of the safeguards
