Segway on ferry to Angel Island (S.F., CA) as a mobility device
I am looking forward to my trip over to the island w/ my Seg as my mobility device. I called the park, which in turn led to a call to the ferry service, which led to an e-mail to the park requesting permission to transport and use the Seg as my mobility device, but, voila! I got my e-mail and I'm ready for my adventure!!
Hope to link to pics soon ;-) For the abled, they have Seg rentals as a tourist diversion. |

One of the members here takes his on the ferry every day. Best to bring some tie downs incase the seas are rough.
Have a GREAT!!! time jeff

Wonderful Day! Pics!!

The Tiburon Ferry was neat, and only took, like, 15 minutes to cross. Price was great (<$15, includes park entry fee). They did ask me to walk the Seg directly into the boat from the dock, but when coming back they saw how comfortable I was (and safe it was) and they said I could ride it on; I chose to walk it on. Surprised there is also a tram ride. The history of this place is amazing! Huell Howser 'CA Gold' video: http://blogs.chapman.edu/huell-howse...nias-gold-408/ It was a wonderful spring day, actually quite warm for the coast. I think it was the second nicest CA state park I've been to (sorry to the rest of CA, but Humboldt rules!). I recommend this trip to anyone able to enjoy it; I was tired by the end of the day. I WILL be back!! I want to go camping w/ my son next time (there would be billion dollar views of San Francisco skyline @ night (well, if it isn't fogged in)). |

Thank you for the pictures and story!
I live at the root of the Tiburon penninsula on the Corte Madera side, and commute past Angel Island 8x a week via the Larkspur ferry. I've only been on Angel Island once, pre-Segway. I've been meaning to get back ever since. I had investigated the travel there and the use of the Segway as a mobility aid. But once I get there, I expect I'll probably park my i2 and rent an x2 and do the tour. I have 6000 miles on i2s and only about 6 feet on an x2, so the novelty alone would be worth it. Of course, after the tour, I'd explore on my i2 if I have time.
