Re: Segways banned in Britain

Although, I don't recommend trying to fall of your Segway on purpose. I have done several tasks that have landed me in that position, and it just so happens, it is really hard to flat out 'fall' off the Segway. The majority of the time I fall on a knee, or in an awkward position that is never "falling" like a bike tumble.

The worse that I have ever done in any crowded situation is ran over people's toes, and to tell you the truth - my meager few pounds and my P's weight is a lot less than the "Average American Man" you come by these day's so I highly doubt I've ever even bruised anyone in this situation.

Yes, the Segway has extreme benefit's over walking. Have you ever considered walking 6 miles to work? I bet in any such similar situation you would drive a vehicle, consume the fuel, the wear and tear on your vehicle, and the idle time in congestion of traffic sure adds up on gas.

You think getting hit by a bike hurts? How blatently obvious is a person on a Segway going down a street? Getting hit by a bike on a Segway sure makes the old bones ache.

I'll take my Glide every day to work, and save the $40+ bucks a month on my commute any day.......
