[Dayvo]

Not so much would, more of 'could'!

And there's nowhere to sit! Except when I would go arse-over!

True. "The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of Mµ..."

Fun looking device, but I think it will suffer from the same UK law that has effectively banned the Segway from being used in public...still want a go on one though :-)

I hope it comes with trouser clips to recapture the contents of your pants when going downhill

Do you really expect anything better from me, Ed?
I could imagine myself 'coming to a halt' as someone enters my 'route', walking in the opposite direction, pivoting on the axis (thanks to Newton etc), and nutting them fair and square on the forehead! Maybe they would be a popular means of travel to and from Millwall football matches?

You'd be like a weeble...actually come to think of it...

No, with your athletic physique you're more Subbuteo
