Segway sighting

I saw somebody scooting down the street yesterday in a Segway. Or rather, down the sidewalk. It was the first time I actually saw someone using one of those “in real life.” I have two observations. First, he looked really funny. Second, I thought he was gonna run somebody over. Those things really are more like bicycles; if bike riders aren’t allowed to fly down the sidewalks, why should Segway users be able to do so?!?
