If I had to travel 6 miles to work everyday, I would use a Segway rather than walk. There's no possible way for me to walk 6 miles with the state my knees are in from various football injuries. What I meant by my earlier post was that if I had the choice to walk while attending say, college, I would choose that over riding a Segway anyday. Especially if I lived on campus. Now work for me is about 6 miles. I could easily do that on a bike in 30 minutes and it's relatively flat road. Now I don't do that because (1.) I don't currently own a bike and (2.) I am a huge procrastinator and wake up later.
Now I'm going to make my point that has nothing to do with what I just previously stated. I would support a bill that would ban Segway riding in public areas UNLESS that person was handicapped in one way or another that prevents them from walking and whatnot. Now I think that that is the reason the Segway was created, or at least it should have been.
