I'm pretty sure (from the background) that the photo is from the Segway tour in the distillery district in Toronto (Ontario,Canada)... and I've seen people on them that _don't_ look that dorky, but they do look touristy because there was a tour guide leading them around IIRC. They might have looked a bit smug too, but not just because they were on the Segway, I remember them being dressed sort of yuppie-like which is only contributed to the fact that they are on an expensive-looking vehicle. (I'm really pulling on my memory here, this was probably around 2006 or 2007 and I just happened to see them go by. Not necessarily something that is burned into my memory.)
