Segways banned in Britain

[Michael Hill]

I personally don't believe that everyone using a segway in pedestrian areas realistic within the next, at least, 60 years. Think about it, it's busy enough walking around a heavily pedestrian area (think New York City, Chicago, Tokyo, etc.) It's hard enough to walk. The amount of ground area a human takes up is far less than what a segway will require (about 2-3 times the ground area of a pedestrian). As time goes by, say 60 years or so (when I say that the price would go down and more people would want a Segway). The population will have increased dramatically (no doubt as a result of better medical care, etc., but that's beside the point). What I'm getting at is that there will be no room in crowded pedestrian areas for people to walk, let alone ride a Segway.
