An old story we couldn't let pass...from the Tribune a couple of weeks ago:
The alderman who represents downtown today called for banning Segways from the lakefront path.
The two-wheeled electric one-person vehicles that can be rented downtown are being targeted by Ald. Brendan Reilly, 42nd.
The proposal calls for fines of $25 to $200 for violators. Police or other officials would be exempted from the ban.
Segways seem so silly to us (see link here). If this passes, tourists are going to be upset.
