The Virginia legislature is proposing that Segway scooters be allowed on sidewalks and trails. Can't wait until the next time I'm turning a corner and meet a Segway blasting along. The legislation doesn't specifically reference the Segway; rather it's an "Electric personal assistive mobility device" - a self-balancing two-nontandem-wheeled device that is designed to transport only one person and powered by an electric propulsion system that limits the device's maximum speed to fifteen miles per hour or less.
