Segway's P.U.M.A.

[KillerGremlin]

I think the Puma is dumb because it is supposed to cut down on urban traffic. Come on.......you REALLY think you can sell that BS to me? Sorry. I live in the major metropolitan area known as Chicago and traffic and commuting sucks ass here. They need to invest more money in public transportation and solving the never-ending highway issue. Rush hour inbound/outbound Chicago traffic is some of the worst in the nation. Driving around in a little segway-mobile isn't going to resolve shit except adding another annoyance to bikers. And I have nothing against bikers, it's green and we already have a bunch of bike paths. That to me is a wise investment...that and adding more funds to our shoddy bus system and dirty underground train system. Hope the olympics go to Rio...

Reason cities have traffic is commuters. Commuters can't drive 45-miles in a little segway thingy.

Holland is known for being a bike country. We have bicycle paths everywhere. I really agree that they would be wise investments for other countries.

Oh and Xantar really envies Europe's train system. You can go from Amsterdam to Paris in a few hours. And to Berlin... there's just a very fast train network, it a really good alternative to flying.
