The Segway Outlaw
from the riding-an-illegal-Segway dept
We've had a few stories about reactions to people who are among the early adopters of Segway scooters in Washington DC and New York City. However, this latest such profile is a little different. Because San Francisco has decided to ban Segway's on city sidewalks, one normally upstanding San Francisco citizen finds himself regularly breaking the law just to commute to work. He seems to like the Segway, though, he wishes it went much faster. Despite the new law, he said he hasn't run into any problems with the police - who mostly just smile at the Segway.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
