Segways: The New Segway to Obesity

Now that I have started working downtown again, I've noticed a new tour company that has taken effect: segway tours. I mean, really...as if the Diva Duck wasn't bad enough; but that's another topic all together. We all knew that a transportation device that would alleviate the horrible pain of walking, like the segway, was going to be invented, and of course utilized. If someone tried to ride a segway through the sidewalks of a busy city, like New York City- their mission may not be as favorable as planned.
I feel that the reason over a quarter (2007 stat, obesity.org) of America's population is obese is because no one wants to do physical activity anymore...no shit, sherlock, yea I know. But really, it seems so much more convenient to take the elevator and/or escalator than the stairs or to take a cab or drive a few blocks than walk it. Especially here in downtown West Palm Beach, because it is such a small downtown area, one would expect to see more people walking. I can understand the security and cops using them to save energy for when they actually need it, but really get a bike, bro. In my opinion, these segways are just another excuse for us not to do anything and make this "tough life" that we currently live in much more bareable and easier. Like building pyramids was just as hard without electricity or something.

Healthily Yours.
