Truck and Barter

It is now illegal to ride a Segway off of private property in the Netherlands. This is my favorite quote:

"It doesn't have a brake, you brake by leaning back, and that's clearly not permissible," he said.

In a country where a lot of things are allowed, this has to be one of the oddest decisions. The Netherlands and especially Amsterdam is made for such a transportation device. Considering how many times I was nearly killed there by bicycles with brakes, I would far prefer to have seen Segways rather than something I rarely saw coming at me and even more rarely did they attempt to slow down.
