Re: Segways banned in Britain
Austin is not congested like New York or Tokyo, though it does have its moments. We have spent time, energy, and money creating bike lanes in Austin. They are not everywhere but where they are, they work. We have a strong cyclist community here. We have also made our city more accessible for the wheelchair community over the last 15 years. It would take time, energy, research, and money to create a Segway community but it is doable, using the guidelines we already have with our bikes and wheelchairs. The few Segways I have seen in the downtown area use the sidewalks and everyone gets along just fine.
