Segways don't hurt people; people hurt people.
There are drunks on bikes everyday running into things. They are the minority. When I see a person on a bike I don't worry that it's a drunk that's going to run me over. In fact, I'd rather be run into by a drunk on a Segway than a drunk on a bike. A bike hitting you is much more dangerous. Tim |

been there, done that, just not on a segway...
That's a riot! Last week I was *nearly* sober at a friend's home and went to sit down in a plastic chair - my backward momentum exceeded the chair's "stay put ratio" and it sprung from under me, dumping me unceremoniously on the floor, to the delight of some 30 people. I had only had three beers and was cut off. Just goes to show you that you dont have to be drunk to make an *** of yourself, and you don't need a segway to do so either - and if you're really lucky, it'll happen too fast for folks to whip out camera phones!!!

People here don't come here to smear bikes. Bikes are fun. Don't be so defensive. Share the road, dude. Enjoy your odd hobby of playing "devil's advocate" with products you don't use. I can't believe you've spent years writing a million words on this subject. Do you have a life other than coming here to upset people? One of these days I should send you the list of people who have written me to tell me how piossed off you've made them with your snarky posts. Oh, and thanks for giving me the negetive rep points. Obviously, another one of your odd hobbies. Tim Last edited by Timezkware Tim; 01-31-2008 at 02:33 PM.. |

Indeed bikes are very fun. Unfortunately to make a bike I can ride wih my disability would be about as expensive, if not more, than a Segway! I used to bike 20 miles each way just outside Milwaukee with my uncle to get to a smoothie shop! I miss those days!

ps - I have no problem with Timekwarez Tim debating with JohnM over points brought up in a neg rep comment. My problem is publicly stating the source being a neg rep comment. |

That's my humble opinion John. Please be warned that I will post or email everyone your silly comments to me in the future, so grow up and cut it out. You have hundreds of hours of Segway posts. Get a life, dude. Go talk about bikes somewhere. Tim |

Ah, see what evil Polo has created with his "let us rep everybody" drive.
Never again shall a rep be an innocent remark. Never again shall you click on the scales thinking that all is safe Payback can be hell...or just more negative rep points Personally I have to laugh at how people make such a big to-do about all this stuff. Tim's a Mets fan so he has to have thick skin. John's a cyclist so you know he has heard it all. Both are big boys, let them "battle" it out while we sit back on the sidelines and enjoy the show. At least until the moderators lock the thread (this could be Will's first official act!). Steven |
