Hi everyone,
My family and I recently took a Segway tour that was offered on the Peoria area river front and had so much fun that I decided to get a Segway of our own.
I live about 12 miles from my workplace but no safe way to use for my commute. The highways don't have any shoulders so I don't see how I could use it safely but having said that we can use for short rides in our neighborhood and I think it would also be fun to take to other places where we can glide.
Looks like in this forum and when I google this that some people you encounter may be segway haters. So much intolerance in the World. I'm an avid exerciser and in great shape so I didn't get the segway for mobility issues (at least at this point in my life) but it was just so much fun and such a natural way to travel. I bet if a few of those segway haters actually rode one then they would likely change their minds. Nothing against biking or jogging as I do that as well but it just puts you in such a good mood when you glide.
Hope to learn more as I am new to this.
John
