You would think San Fran would allow the Segway, since those things are obviously heterosexually challenged.

Impossible, unless it has a malfunction, or you sneeze or something. The concept of the thing is it's built to balance from your weight distribution. So, unless you fall asleep on the damn thing, you really can't go out of control.

3 grand for the regular, 10 I think for the coporate one. I think the 10 grand one has a longer lasting battery, and goes faster. And they got 17MPH. If you can walk 17MPH, I need a camera to make a quick buck.

Not to mention they just look stupid. And to think some police departments are looking into using them. I can see it now *cop chases after thugs on a segway* .... *thugs turn and laugh at cop on segway, then run into the woods* * cop: "shit I dont think this things made for off-road"...cop abandons segway, hobo steals segway*
