Segway Skiing

[HardOCP News]

Apparently the staff at FatWallet have come up with a nifty way to pass time at work. I guess this is the geek version of Hooky-Bobbing. Thanks to Edward C. for the linkage!

That's probably safer than passing the time by tubing off the back of a car, hehe

I think "Dragging people behind a slow-moving object" would be a more fitting title.

Yet another non-use for the Segway! It's almost worth it's $500 pricetag now!

Errr, wait, what? They want over 5 grand for the electric wheelchair without a seat?

Awww, I was like "What? It's only $500?! I'm buying one!"
And then I read the 5 grand bit. Got my hopes up.

lol, sorry.

Ya, for $500 it'd be a cool toy.

Personally, I'll take a third wheel over $4500 worth of whatever the hell they needed to make it stand up straight.

I paid less for my motorcycle than a Segway costs new, sad!

I've got a great personal transportation device outside the house. It reaches higher speeds than the 12.5 mph of the Segway, it balances on two wheels, there's enough room to attach some baskets to carry stuff, and it's very affordable. It's very nimble and maneuverable, making it easy to dodge the traffic when not traveling on the special side roads built for these vehicles. Best of all, it's powered by the excess energy of my body, which would have been turned into fat if not used. It's called a "bicycle". It could well turn out to be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy.

Here's mine:

I paid $3500 for it...
