People are always talking to me about Segways when they see my on my uni or with my uni just wanted to see why everyone thinks this is.

i never heard anything about segways when i was unicycling
I FOUND IT! I’ve had this on my wall for months!
I went to Atlanta for the national FIRST Robotics competition, which was founded by Dean Kamen (the inventor of the segway). Because of the connection, a bunch of the important people and competition coordinators were riding around the Georgia dome on segways. It was pretty fun to watch.

who is he?

The Man! The Legend! The Wizard of Woz! Steve Wozniak! I believe he is also on the US Segway Polo team (they ahd the 1st World Cup this past year, I forget who won).
Another Segway connection: There’s a guy, who’s name I forget, who built his own Segway from scratch, including writing the software. When he was done, he realized the 2nd wheel was redundant, and built the e-unicycle
