While in Atlanta for the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four, I noticed something strange with the way people were touring the city. For a fee, one could be a member of a tourgroup that would travel the city streets on Segway transports...the personal transport vehicle. The whole idea seemed pretty neat, but one of the stipulations of the tour was that the operator of each transport had to wear a rather dorky looking helmet. I still thought that these machines appeared to perform rather well, especially considering the heavy traffic due to the thousands and thousands of coaches parading around downtown Atlanta. Being the tech-geek that I am I was seriously tempted to purchase a tour, but ultimately decided against the idea.
