Please, please tell me that some misguided foundation provided the funding for that boondoggle, rather than our poor underfunded city!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864720508901585561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28861749.post-51427449527565577912008-04-24T16:38:00.000-07:002008-04-24T16:38:00.000-07:00John- Oh...that's probably why I don't see them th...John- Oh...that's probably why I don't see them then, I haven't been to the Glass House since I was in my early-mid teens.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous- there is a Segway store in Long Beach @ The Pike. Not even close to being in Pomona, but maybe they deliver? lol, not good enough. People should be able to ride their contraptions to the place of purchase for parts and maintenance, just as people with cars are able to drive and find a wide range of auto repair shops all over town.Garrett Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14419033988391051032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28861749.post-49621081335573748452008-04-24T16:12:00.000-07:002008-04-24T16:12:00.000-07:00Don't know when they got them, but I've seen them ...Don't know when they got them, but I've seen them on Second Saturday for at least 4-5 months, maybe longer.

They make a police version (Segway i2 Police) that retails for about $5660 (@ a Segway online dealer).<BR/><BR/>The bike could be purchased at Coates , now where exactly do you buy a Segway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28861749.post-3962437211201996622008-04-24T14:16:00.000-07:002008-04-24T14:16:00.000-07:00Oh, they have segways now!?! cool.

Thank you for all of this.<BR/><BR/>Lincoln Park is my childhood home.<BR/><BR/>Oh, Carnegie Library!<BR/><BR/>I miss you and Mr. Big at the blogger's picnic. You should have one of your own over in Lincoln Park or somewhere along the Metro. I'd go and bring deviled eggs.Patrizzi Intergarlicticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047084173908563600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28861749.post-90381233469381348342008-04-24T07:17:00.000-07:002008-04-24T07:17:00.000-07:00The police who patrol downtown do so on Segways, s...The police who patrol downtown do so on Segways, so you can see them in Pomona.John Cliffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875675135859666829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28861749.post-79234687481315714442008-04-24T01:33:00.000-07:002008-04-24T01:33:00.000-07:00I don't think I've ever seen anyone in Pomona ridi...I don't think I've ever seen anyone in Pomona riding around on a Vespa, but it's nice to know that BMW sells them, that's something I never knew. I thought they only sold motorcycles. I'm still waiting to see a Segway in Pomona, lol, I guess a Vespa would be nice too. I always see cop cars and cop bikes/motorcycles out in front of BMW whenever I pass by, they must be REAL motorcycle buff's...<BR/><BR/>A very very un-Earth Day to you!<BR/>As Katie wrote in a comment on my after earth day post, Earth day is everyday because this is Earth we're on every day, isn't it?Garrett Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14419033988391051032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28861749.post-8207299479240030792008-04-23T13:40:00.000-07:002008-04-23T13:40:00.000-07:00I'd like to give an Earth Day shout out to Brown M...I'd like to give an Earth Day shout out to Brown Motor Works on Mission & White, the only dealer in our immediate area that sells Vespas (which get an impressive 85 MPG).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28861749.post-83259483929772700292008-04-22T23:38:00.000-07:002008-04-22T23:38:00.000-07:00Thanks for celebrating Earth Day with an awesome p...Thanks for celebrating Earth Day with an awesome post! Our school had a celebration as well. I showed off my truck because of its vegetable oil conversion. Our group had planned to do work with a local high school but the organizers have yet to contact me for the garden. BUT i am applying for an internship with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency that will be putting drought tolerant gardens in schools.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05827565756014550602noreply@blogger.com
