You're absolutely right sjschlag, bikes would have been much more cost effective as well as more environmentally friendly. Those $5,000 white elephants still pollute indirectly because all electricity in Lawrence comes from coal burning power plants. And e85 presents a whole new set of problems in the form of agricultural pollution. Not to mention the fact that heaven forbid the police had to actually chase somebody, depending on how in shape they are, they could conceivably be faster on a bike since according to wikipedia a Segway can only go 12.5 MPH. I'm having flashbacks of Gob Bluth.
Campus police go green
