Re: random people on segways
 

Well, I've seen Segways entirely to much. I live less than 2 miles away from the Segway company, so I'll be out riding my bike on the trails behind my apartment complex (they go for about 10 miles altogether) and either nearly crash into a Segway, or nearly get run over by one. I think I've seen one almost every day I've gone out. And of course, I see them in Manchester daily.

As for other sightings, I've seen them a few times in Annapolis, Maryland. I guess they use them for tours. My favorite sighting has to be a man dressed in colonial clothing riding a Segway, giving a tour. Wish I had had a camera.

I've seen them a few times in manhatten, most notably Chinatown. I also saw one in Washington D.C. in front of one of the Smithsonian museums.

Has anyone seen a regular segway in a suburban/rural area?

I've seen 2 segway mounted police on Hollywood Boulevard (the Walk of Fame).

I talked to them for a bit, and they were evaluating them to replace
the horses. Theirs were faster, approximately 25 miles per hour. They
also said they didn't like them as much as the horses, and that they
broke too easily (about 1 a month).

I saw some one on my college campus the other day. People I was with (3 or 4 music majors) knew what they were but kept calling them scooters.

On the news (WTHR Indianapolis) I saw Stu Bloom riding around on his segway. They were doing a segment on the Indiana State Fair or something and I just happened to catch the end of the segment and he was riding across the screen. :cool:

Saw an old dude on a Segway at a car show/swap meet today in Southbury CT.

First time I saw a Segway at a non-FIRST related event.
Just thought I would let ya'll know.. :-)

I was taking classes at FAU (Florida Atlantic University) this past summer. When i was hanging out with my friends by the library, i saw one of the securities riding a segway around... automatically one of my friend yelled out "SEGWAY"... the security guy stopped and started asking us how do we know about it and blahblahblah... it was funny... but after he found out that i am a FIRSTer he was like "Whoa! thats cool! Tell Dean thanks for making such a scooter." My answer was, "i will once i see him... by the way thats a segway not a scooter..." :)
