I can't help wondering what Gob from Arrested Development would feel about this.

Huh, surprised that hadn't happened already.

I never saw the point of those, and they looked tacky. Glad they're finally gone.

Huh, can't say I've seen them often, and when I did, they were usually adorned by dudes getting visibly annoyed the rest of the world was not making way for them.

The only time I ever saw them was at the airport, where they kinda make since, since the workers have to regularly and quickly travel long distances, and the segway is a good alternative to doing it on foot.

But if the airports have what they need, orders from them have probably dried up.
