Actually Bob, what I meant was that I’m ashamed it’s taken me (a gadget writer) so long to get the opportunity to ride one. I’m actually a fan of the device but my only concern is the price, and that’s probably the main reason I don’t own one. I live in a downtown core and don’t own a car because of it. I actually love walking whenever I need to go somewhere, but at times (the morning) I’m less thrilled about walking an hour just to make a meeting on time.

Why would someone be ashamed to have never ridden a Segway? The things aren’t exactly practical, reasonably priced, useful, or in any way shape or form stylish. The Segway has all the appeal of the Pneumonic variant of the plague and all the mass market sales record of the Pet Rabid Hyena with frickin lasers. Adding the thing to an ugly as sin car only makes it even less desirable to everyone save a few serious ecomentalists on a too lazy to walk kick.

Your photos can’t be any worse than mine, I look scared! Was very cool though. Great shots of the Flextreme too.
