    Segway's Banned in San Francisco!

    http://europe.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptec....ap/index.html

    My friend was thinking of getting one because he's so lazy he cant handle walking up all those hills.

    Sucks for him.

    When segways are outlawed, only outlaws will have segways.

    They can have my Segway when they drag it out from under my quarter ton, dead by heart attack carcass.

    Ever been in S.F. ? I kind of see the reasoning.

    Talk about a flop. I mean, those things disappeared even before anyone actually used a single one. That must be a new record.
    I refute it thus!

    Looks like Tom Ammiano is setting himself up for the next mayoral election. He connects well with the gay community because of his personal life.

    That almost always guarantees a winner.

    Not really, but I hate to think of being on a Segway with San Francisco cab drivers anywhere in the area.
    I can move quicker, if I'm walking.

    From what I hear, you should move to NY, then you'd REALLY move whenever a cab driver showed up.

    That may well be, I just know that when the cabs in SF go through intersections that flatten out on the referenced hills, they go airborne.
    I think cab drivers are a little deranged, wherever they are.

    So the yellow is really there to warn everyone to get out of the way?

    Has anybody seen one used in real life? Amazon claims that they are selling like hotcakes, so it'd be odd if nobody has seen one.

    I have never seen one in Las Vegas. And I do a lot of driving at my job.

    People in my city can be tough. They would just knock the guy off and steal it . I just don't think they are practical enough.

    Apparently one was spotted by my church, once. I have never seen one in real life though.

    This Segway thing reminds me of the WAP phones.

    I live 40 miles from SF, so when I drive in SF, I drive like a mad man, if you don't then a mad man will drive over you.
