“Bigger than the internet,” but still useless
The Globe and Mail published an article last Monday about the Segway, this gas-free personal transportation device that was launched in 2001. It is small (with only two wheels,) doesn’t emit greenhouse gases and is great to use on short distances, like commuting to work. The Segway would solve so many of our problems related to oil prices and climate change, but its use is forbidden in most countries (most of the time the legislation says it can’t be used on the road and on sidewalks, which makes it pretty much useless.)
I have another idea for a small carbon and gas-free personal transporter. It’s called the bike, it’s cheaper and makes you stay fit.
Read the Globe and Mail article and a Daily Mail article which describes another way to use the Segway.
