A representative from a local (not Oxford) law enforcement agency phoned the shop today to see if we would be interested in buying the bulk of their police bike fleet. It seems that officers prefer Segways to bikes, even though they are slower, far less maneuverable, and cost 5-6 times more per unit that the best of the police bikes. The Segway ad claims it is the indisputable #1 transportation solution. Oh really? There has yet to be a device invented that can carry a person that is more cost effective and efficient than a bicycle. And NONE is greener. PERIOD. segway/patrol/
