A couple of years ago I regularly spotted a guy riding a Razor scooter down 14th Street in the mornings — I thought that was interesting and a little funny, but hey, more power to you, guy. He’s saving money and getting some exercise on his morning commute.
Then the other day I spotted a guy in a suit riding a Segway down 14th in the morning, presumably on his way to work. I didn’t get a chance to take a photo but tweeted it, and got a couple of responses who’ve seen the same suited, hat-wearing guy for some time. Maybe because he had a suit and no helmet, he didn’t look like as much of a goofball as fanny-packed tourists and DC cops who ride Segways — though I’m not sure I’d recommend no helmet on 14th Street.
Just another interesting thing about our neighborhood — you always see something unusual.
