Before I begin, I thought I saw in blueprints a design for a rain shield for the Segway in one of the patent drawings...Dean probably thought of that already

Here are my reasons for supporting Segway:

Point 1: Traffic
Segway may replace biking to work, also if used in New York and other large metropolitan cities it would reduce traffic and collisions...that would save people time and energy of dealing with stupid drivers....and the long delays of Rush Hour

Point 2: Environment
With less drivers on the road, Ozone is saved for another day....

Point 3: The Media
There were 2 main reasons for the secrecy of Dean..... 1. Patents were not secured at this time last year when this thing first came into the media world, Wouldnt you keep it a secret if you didnt have patents secured on the invention you spent 15 years on? Also an official name wasnt selected....so its not like he was trying to make it that big of a deal...the wonderful media strikes again...First florida, now Segway

Yes there may be some similarities between the two...my explanation is: You all know that Dean spent 15 years or more of his life developing Segway, couldnt IBot have been a creation that came to mind during his development?

So finally I conclude with saying that Dean Kamen is a brilliant man, his creations revolutionized the world...we need to appriate Dean for what he has done, heck if he didnt create FIRST, I wouldnt be posting here or neither would anyone else....I support Dean in all he does, and im looking foward to a great 2002 Competition!

One last thought?

Will Segway Replace the Bicycle?

Lets here your thoughts?
