Our hero is breaking the law! Old people had them outlawed in SF...
State law defines the rider of a Segway as a pedestrian, and therfore able to use sidewalks.
SF opted out and banned their use on sidewalks.
This rider is in traffic, however...
Better for him to be in traffic than on a sidewalk, pissing me off. The rider of a segway is NOT a pedestrian, SF made the right call.
Painful to watch

Holy crap, that's awesome.
Yep....I've seen that guy in Noe Valley before. This is going Southbound on Castro, just before 24th.
Is his arm up because he's trying to signal, or is he waving back at the mad hatter guy on the building?
Yep, a Segway is a vehicle. An overpriced and dorky vehicle, but a vehicle.
Segway Critical Mass!
That guy lives right across the street from the flat I've been house sitting. He's pretty awesome.
If that's who I think it is ... and it sure looks like him at this distance ... he actually is a senior citizen who had serious mobility issues several years ago and got the segway so he could continue to live independently. Then he was lucky enough to receive experimental surgery that restored most of his ability to walk. He is old enough, however, to still find the machine to be a useful way to keep him out and about instead of partially disabled.
So before you tar a Segway rider as a poser, loser, or dangerous to senior citizens, you might consider this. (Of course, I am covering for him cuz he let me take it out for a spin once. W00t!)
I see this group cruising the Marina all the time:

Yeah, well he needs to stay in the street before he hits and makes OTHER people disabled.
