Funny you should say that; I was zipping around the Google campus today on my Segway. Although there are bikes provided for that purpose, a Segway is way more maneuverable (and therefore safer for pedestrians), plus you can take it inside buildings. There are definitely use cases for which the Segway is ideal.

Also, that link has got to be some sort of prime example on how not to design an article for easy reading. I gave up after having to click the "next" button about ten times.
