Segways Roll Over Chicago

Posted by michael on from the modern-day-palanquin dept.

lpangelrob2 writes "It looks like someone in Chicago finally found a use for Dean Kamen's Segways. The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that a three hour tour of Chicago's lakefront will be guided by Segways traveling on Chicago's sidewalks at 5mph. The cost of the tour is $65, and an instructional class and helmet is provided -- just in case."

    HA! I knew it! i said it before: segways will _only_ be used in niche markets such as tourist gimicks and maybe in business/campus/warehouses, we will not need to re-build cities around them, they won't change everything, they are no big deal.
