I rode my first Segway

I rode my first Segway today. And rode is the right word. You don't really drive it at all - just let it go and ride - or as they say in training think about going forward and you go forward.

I have heard they are banned in San Francisco. Can anyone verify that? Minneapolis has said that they are fine for use on its city's sidewalks and skyways - until there are more and accidents begin to occur.


This is just about the coolest bit o' dancin' I have ever seen. [Kottke/Vitaflo]
