How about we just ban everyone from the sidewalks if we are that focused on what we are trying to accomplish whether its running for a bus / train / cab / jogging etc.... Protect ourselves from ourselves kind of thing

AS I said before in some states there is a bike lane for bike riders to utilize. This is very dangerous --- yeah u keep the people on the sidewalk safe but if a tractor trailer / bus is moving quickly along side you you could get knocked off that bike espicially if the tractor trailer is moving in its lane unsafely (swirving)..... If I could get knocked off my bike by a passing vehicle while riding in the street whether its the same flow or opposite flow of traffic why would I want to ride a segway in the street..... Segways are more then safe enough to be riden on a sidewalk. Kids should not being playing on the sidewalk anyway without parental supervision.

The Main point is that there is no safe place to do anything. Whether ure out jogging / excersing / biking / segway riding.... your main goal is to do everything safely and be aware of ure surroundings. Segways will not get banned from the sidewalks and sent to the streets, the streets are just as dangerous as the sidewalks even if ure operating carefully.
