It's a shame. But the real decisions will be after Segways become available to anyone and are actually tried out in a few cities.

To paraphrase someone, how people are so stupid there is beyond me, but it IS San Francisco.

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.

San Francisco is a not a city you would want to ride a segway in. If you have been there and seen the hills first hand you know what I'm talking about.

I don't think they should have BANNED it though, but I wouldn't own one there. Public transport there is awesome.
