As if you really needed it, here you go. I've been riding my bike to the bar-prep class I go to every morning from 9-12:30 and I normally stop for lunch on the way home. While leaving Brown Bag Deli (BBD), one of my favorite lunch spots, I noticed a strange contraption parked against a bench. It was a Segway.
Have you ever seen one of these things? I mean, like, in person? They are awesome. Sure, I've seen them in magazines and on TV shows but i had never seen one in person. And just my luck, the owner was walking out of BBD, so I had to talk to him about it. I couldn't resist. There we were, a geek on a bike and a geek on a Segway outside of a sandwich shop, talking about how the Segway works, how it senses your body position and decides whether to go forwards or backwards, how it locks itself, how it runs on batteries and requires a nightly charge, how it has a running distance of 250 miles, how it saves gasoline for short trips to the sandwich shop...
And there is your proof. If you needed it.

Dude,
I don't know what to tell you.
Still, pretty groovy segway.

The wife & I were at a bar one time and a guy had one of those. He let us ride it around (after we'd been in the bar for awhile). It was fun, and there were no major crashes (surprisingly).
