Comments on Counter-terrorist police exercise on Segways
Those Segways would be fabulous for Beijing and its flat topography and electric bike culture. Somebody should sell them here.
Whatever you do, sir, DO NOT open your car door!
Looks like Shandong officials are off the right track. They should be spending their time and funds with more practical problems like railway safety. Why would terrorists target Taishan or Jinan?
Chinese counter-terrorist cops on Segways in Qufu? Confucius is literally rolling in his grave!
segway to heaven
"Exercise" on Segways, heh... Just don't move faster than 12.5 mph or run up some stairs...
What happens when they fire those weapons? I've ridden a Segway and you have to be careful about your center of gravity.
