It is not that I doubt that the company running the Segways tours is responsible and
reasonable. They may well be. It's that a good % of the public isn't. Once motorized 2-wheelers appear on the bike paths, people will get ideas that it's ok to have Segways
and scooters. And they will ride them, unsupervised. We really don't have any
City force REGULARLY, FREQUENTLY enforcing laws on the bike path. As people
become less dependent on their own muscles to use the bike path, they will
flock there. As it is, weekends are dangerous because of so many people
walking/riding without obeying rules of the bike path: stopping in the middle
of the path without noticing traffic around them, walking/riding 2-4 abreast,
using cell phones and not watching where they're going. Unfortunately, human
nature argues against Segways on our bike paths--and sidewalks.
