Electric balance scooters (segway type thingy)

s72 of the 1835 Highways act (the one that bans bikes)

that’s the one that would also get people who parked their cars on the pavement, but they never do anything about that.

well the guy in the hospital bed over from me will tell you differently – open tib and fib fracture from one and about 6months before he gets the full length pins put….

He should do something completely safe, like cycling.

Well considering he’s a Pediatric Rehabilitation Nurse in THIS hospital – he’s gonna have fun explaining it

An amusing (to me, anyway) test of the different models:

Notice how he mentioned that he was having fun on these things, particularly the solowheel.

That’s the attraction of them – an extra hour of fun per day versus no fun walking.

Plus I have decided that the benefits of walking are f-all really – I would rather spend less time on the commute and use that time for something useful like a run, and if I can use some of that commute time to have a bit of fun as well then even better.

I was walking about 2 hours a day in my commute whilst waiting for a groin strain to ease up, so not running during that time (plus not biking much/any) and I just ended up with my niggly knee pain getting worse, a load of myofacial muscle pains appearing around my knees and lots of muscle ‘knots’ appearing in different places, which I had to roll out.

Went back to using the train and cycling/running a lot more to get fitter for Torq 12:12, and haven’t had any of those pains/knots appearing since.

’Hoverboards’ are illegal on both pavements and roads, CPS confirms

which might also make it more dangerous to ride the self-balancing unicycles that seemed to be going under the radar as they are less obtrusive.

They still mention the segway specific legislation, which the unicycles aren’t classified by, so if you are done on a unicycle then I would imagine it would lead to a test case in court, whereas one of these wouldn’t as they have already been classified the same as a segway.
