Segway? Don't get me started!

Please ride a bike! Cheaper, more reliable, 0 emissions, healthier
for you and you won't look like a nerd riding it. Sorry, but those
things are a menace on the local bikepaths which we local cyclists
fought long and hard to get. Motorized vehicles are prohibited on
bikepaths but none of the Segway riders seem to know this. The first
time some old lady gets plowed into on one of those things, the local
city officials will be ready to ban ALL two-wheeled transport. Check
into your local ordinances before getting one---there's virtually no
legal place to ride them besides the street. They are not legal on
sidewalks or in bike lanes--- at least in CA anyway.

  Apologies if you have disability issues and a Segway would help you
get around.
