Off the sidewalks
They are motorised vehicles. They move as fast as - or faster than - bicycles. They are self-propelled, and require practice before they can be safely used. They are heavier than people, and can cause injury in crowded situations. Keep them off the sidewalks, please.

A wonderful life with my Segway
I look forward to my daily office commute because my Segway makes the two mile trip sooo much fun. I now notice and enjoy the interesting things around town that used to just whiz by my environmentally unfriendly car. I’m making friends with people who want to stop and talk about my wheels. The Segway is like an extension of my body, since it is so easy and intuitive to simply lean in the direction I want to go. It almost feels like when I have flying dreams. Just the sight of my Segway key, or the feel of it in my pocket is enough to make me smile and rejioce; isn’t life wonderful?”

Amazing technology
Segway is an amazing piece of technology that is also fun to use. The main use is for when it’s too far to walk and yet not far enough to drive. It’s a great way save on gas, and help the environment. It is pedestrian friendly and can be used in any environment. One warning though don’t buy one if you’re shy because you will become the center of attention everywhere you go.

I don't have one... well not yet!
I don't have one... well not yet! Segway brings a completely new meaning to the idea of personal transport. It's hip, it's environmentally friendly, and makes everyone turn their head.
