SFist Photo: Segways On Sidewalks In San Francisco

Grove Street near Civic Center recently got a visit from two "SUVs of the Sidewalk".

Remember 2002? We do. That's when Supervisor Chris Daly led the drive to ban Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Devices from S.F. sidewalks. Even those who disagree "fervently" with the District 6 Supe on other issues were behind this measure. So, we thought that would be the end of it, and we'd spot these contraptions only at celebrity polo matches or in other cities. But whenever we see them these days it seems they're cruising down sidewalks. Not the multi-use kind, the regular kind where even bicyles are not allowed. Are organized groups currently flouting the ban?
