 Topic: OT: Segwags
Posted: 29 May 2013 at 9:46pm |
My wife and I are working on our bucket lists. Had a chance to try out Segways on the Chicago lake front (DW's birthday present trip). Easy to learn and a blast to drive. If you get a chance, try one.

They had a few with fatter tires that would do alright on gravel or dirt trails. I would never have been able to walk the distance we covered with the Segways, but I did get tired of standing after a while. There was a rest break part way through the 2 hour tour. That was something I was grateful for. http://www.segway.com/individual/models/x2-adventure.php

Yes, I choose wisely many years ago. Yes, she knows and complains occasionally. She is into quilting, so I just remind her of the time she spends doing that (and ask about any recent fabric purchases)!!

The guy who invented the Segway died a couple of years ago after he accidently drove his off a cliff in front of his house...irony I guess, Trev.

I asked the guide how many get driven into Lake Michigan as there were a lot of tour operators on the lake front. He never has lost one, but there is a couple every year he said.
