PRAGUE: The rise of a new phenomenon in the city, travelling to places without the need for your car, is driving a wedge between urban and rural communities. No longer in need of four wheels, these half-human, half-daleks driving what is known here as the Segway, are making the split between city and country much more pronounced. Without urban folk buying cars, the price of vehicles and fuel is set to rise within a decade.
What is worse, these abominations are making the pastime of walking outmoded.
This will have a knock-on effect for the rural economy: without the need to walk, village shoemakers, cobblers and sock darners will experience a drop in revenue.
It is a slippery slope to the human race losing feet and legs altogether, as the species mutates.
