Seen in San Francisco.
The event pictured above was organized by the San Francisco Electric Tour Company.
Here are some thoughts about this:
“There are no rear-view mirrors on the Segway so the rider can’t see the people he’s just passed pointing at him and laughing.” (Encyclopedia Of Stupid)
“The Segway pisses me off. It is not only inefficient, complicated and expensive, it’s slow too.” (Panic With The Lazy Citizen)
“It’s a motorized scooter invented by a real, live mad scientist - Dean Kamen. It lets you go across dirt, up hills, through doors, forwards, backwards, left and right. Hey… wait a minute, can’t my legs do that?” (”Top Five Lame Gadgets” on kidzworld.com)
“I can’t think of a better symbol of how wasteful we can be than the Segway.” (Geekzone)
