Wow.. I got my Segway in June 2007 and started commuting to work three days a week by September. The one way distance is 4.4 miles through the inner city of Pittsburgh. I love it! You might be asking why only three days and why wait s many months before committing to practical gliding? The short answer is I learned to transfer from a wheel chair to the Segway and then built confidence I could do the daily adventure. I have a wheel chair at home and then one at work. Life is great!
Today I am just 5 miles short of 400 total on my I2. The weather only stops me when there is snow/ice. Cold and rainy days are not a problem... just more clothes. I wear a helmet and safety vest plus use active and passive lighting. I find so many interesting places in Pittsburgh to ride: these range from the small ethnic communities to the 4 large city parks with hiking and bike trails.
Recently I took a Segway tour in Sarasota. The experience was fantastic. I learned about the town and enjoyed being in a chain of Segway riders. Tom provides a lot of details of Sarasota's past residents, homes, and botanical rarities. Now I want to take other tours like the Alamo or Washington D.C on the Segway. For me, the technology motivates me everyday to explore.
Well... that's my intro to this forum. I look forward to viewing posts and asking questions.
Cheers!
