It's a different society than it used to be.
I like to park it where I can see it from a distance, and photograph or record people' reactions to it.

This week, I was gliding in the street behind cars, and some pedestrian yelled, "Hey!! Slow down on that thing!! That thing is ridiculous!!" I don't know how I could go slower considering the back-to-back traffic that I was in. I read his comment to mean, "Hey, I'm insecure and incapable of reading the big "Segway" sign, so I'll call it 'that thing'!"
