"...but when I see these guys on their Segways, I want to push them off and steal their lunch money. I'm not even kidding -- the simple addition of a Segway turns what would otherwise be a single dork into an entire chess team on wheels. And if it can stir up this type of sentiment in a fellow geek, imagine what the baseball cap guys will want to do to you. I'm having horrible mental images of two high school quarterbacks throwing an 80 pound Segway back and forth over some guy's head, chanting "You want your Segway? Come and get it! Come and get it!"

What the Segway community needs to do immediately, if it is to survive, is to cop a more "macho" image. Borrow a page from the Harley Davidson folks, and throw on a leather jacket. Liberally apply flame decals to your Segway. Find a way to make the Stirling engine extremely loud."

Dies meint stevenf, und hat damit nicht ganz unrecht. Segways sind cool, aber ihre Besitzer sind alles andere als hot.
