Re: Do You Remember Life Before The Segway?

Almost everything in that video really does apply to myself. I've still yet to find a Segway drive-in, but I bet the handicap spots in the [conventional] movie theater would work if they aren't being used.


If gas prices continue to climb (they are projected to reach as high as $3.50 or $3.75 this summer! ), using a Segway to commute to and from work could become more and more attractive for many people. Since a fully charged Segway has a range of up to 24 miles, and studies show that more than 50% of all people live within 10 miles of their job, having many "average" people use Segways to commute every day sound like a sensible choice to me.

Well, it was from The Onion.
