CBC is running an interview with a segway fan, who is angry over the failure of society to accomodate this revolutionary transport device.

Ah, that sense of righteous entitlement.

This fellow on the speaking box seemed to have a lot of rage about how there's no legal place to drive the things, which with them being puny and crunchy on the roads while at the same time being a danger to pedestrians.

I wonder if anybody has done off-road mods? ah, yes. Friend on the radio needs to do himself some googling.



Hm, sorta looks like fun, though not nearly enough to be worth $5000US.

Round big warehouses, stockpicking. At least that's the only niche for them I've heard of them working better than a bicycle.
