Tour operator wants greater segway acceptance
A Winnipeg businessman is hoping that people zipping around on Segways will soon become a common sight in the city.
Launched to great fanfare in 2001, the Segway Human Transporter hasn't lived up to its original hype. At the time, the self-balancing scooter with two side-by-side wheels was hailed as a revolution in transportation.
Craig Harrison of Open Air Adventures is hoping to help change that. His company recently signed an agreement with The Forks to offer tours and demonstrate the Segway.
Harrison is hoping city officials will visit his operation and evaluate the units. He wants the city to come up with a policy to allow people to legally operate Segways on city sidewalks.
