Segway Banned in San Francisco

Has a nice ring to it huh? Well the city known for accepting the strange and unusual says that the Segway is dangerous and has banned its usage.
" In hilly San Francisco, officials feared the battery-powered Segways would cause more problems than they would solve, particularly for the disabled and senior citizens. "
Sounds like a diversionary tactic to me.
"Ammiano also said Segway's campaign rubbed officials the wrong way.

"Segway didn't help themselves by hiring very expensive lobbyists," he said. "I think that backfired on them, too." "
Thought so.
