Reminds me of the disaster in SF when a French company wanted to install self cleaning pay toilets ( the prototype I saw was spotlessly clean). By the time the disabled advocates and other pc types got done with it the company told SF to stuff it. Try finding a clean public toilet in SF....

Actually that isn't true.

Decoutu (sp?) does all the public toilets here in SF, and they're a disgusting mess with drug addicts who use them all the time, and the homeless that sleep in them. So you're not correct.

SF has a huge joke on their hands...if New York, LA, Seattle, and Chicago accept the thing...they will be the laughing stock of the next major mayors conference.

I think the 3 major problems made by Segway in SF. Lack of donations to the political parties (they likely all expected a $20k check) and never got it. The number of advocates per square mile is more than any city in America...which translates into a lot of people wanting to have a say in these matters, which can be a very bad thing in real life. And finally, there is the homeless lobby. Lets face it...they have enough legal help to put anybody into court for years and years...real people in SF basically have an uphill battle in any kind of improvement in the city.

So what will happen? I would suggest a measure by most pro-Segway folks in naming a street in the bay area 'Segway Street'.
