Pretty darn nice guys too! -- It was great to meet them in Indy last year at FesT!

Happy Gliding

Well, Erika likes my Segway too, but I'm waiting for her to put on a few more pounds before I turn her loose outside our driveway. So I don't know whether to count her as a "user".

But it looks like you've got me beat for being an old dad -- though mere years can't really capture how old I am! But I've seen 54 of them.

So both you and I are quite young still and our young ones are becoming serious gliders soon. I am still amazed at how quickly Kiera adapted to gliding. She can manage the Town quite well but I am always walking with her, just to be sure

...30 years young. The Segway Years have been my best.

Kenny - I thought you were much older. No offence to youngsters - but you seem too smart to be only 17. Good on you.

Well, i'm glad i didn't seem younger

I always do my best to be infront of my own age, since that's the only way to justify my weakness against "bullies"... Talk my way through it... It has worked so far

But thank you for the compliment!

In my experience, I've found the vast majority of the younger demographic of segway users to posses inteligence and maturity to a point which belies their true age. I suppose one must posses a high degree of intelligence in order to see the the segway as something more than just a "toy".

There is an old sailing saying that says that years spent sailing are not deducted from your lifespan...

Wouldn't it be nice to find that years spent gliding on a segway are not deducted either...

I try to do both as often as possible, so I'll let you know what my research indicates.

it would be interesting to find how many days or weeks one spends gliding per year.
