9 out of 10 people would probably have wanted one from what i saw walking along the footpaths this afternoon.
one was wearing a sweater and had a beard, not knowing if it was quite fully winter weather yet or not judging by the perspiration. |

I just thought no one wanted one coz they look silly. same, I thought it was just because our obesity crisis hadn't quite reached the same heights as america |

i personally think its retarded that sikh's are excluded. they should have to pay a levy to cover all the extra hospital fees they will be incurring.
obviously there would be a market for a helmet that accomodates a turban. |

I think that helmet law is kind of cool, obviously completely retarded at the same time pandering to religions but st the same time;
They can be used as a little test group for someone to study the accidents and effects of riding bikes without a helmet vs riding with a helmet |

Don't Sikhs never cut their hair? hence the Dastar.

They can be used as a little test group for someone to study the accidents and effects of riding bikes without a helmet vs riding with a helmet Well to be fair it would be comparing riding with a helmet vs riding with a sponge on your head |

Wonder if he got much hassle from the fuzz.I think they have not only been against the law on sidewalks, but they have on roads as well. I looked into it a while back and my memory is the only thing you could do was fang around on them in parks i.e., they were useless for their intended purpose. |

so, Minister Scott Emerson seems to be like the only person that I know of that currently has a segway
wonder if that had more to do with it than any real public want/need |

Gob should be the Segway spokesperson.

haha what a hunk of s***
and if you think those people are just tards, think about the guy who ran the segway company: he's dead, he died on a segway. |

Dean Kamen is still alive and well. It was Jim Heselden, the owner of the company, who died on a Segway.

Im right there with him. Between all the f*****g motorised bikes and scooters that have been popping up on the bike paths of late there's gonna be no room left for good old fashioned pedals.
Ride a bike already you fat c****. |

If you ride a bicycle you are gay. It's a proven scientific fact.

That vid a few posts above was great. Amazed me when i saw one of those 3 wheeler segway things in the USA being used by mall cops to patrol the mall. No wonder they were f*****g fatties. Fat people on them also make me lol as they are the ones that really should be doing the physical activity.
