If you have your own segway you can ride on Angel Island .In the past 3 years only a few people brought any out and the park let them ride.
We started renting out there last Oct 2006. The Blue and gold Ferry will let you take a Segway and the Triburon Ferry will also .They charge $1 extra just like a Bike

I like it. Sign my wife and I up. I'll call and RSVP.

Still waiting to hear from all the SC gliders about a caravan or carpool......

I just talked to the Blue and Gold Ferry. They do not charge the extra $1 for Segways. They are aware of the new program and the event on the 10th. They seem to be welcoming it with arms wide open.

The ship they use holds 300 people and they don't expect to fill it. No prepurchased tickets required. Guess they don't know about Plo's double-decker bus.

Very cool.

I work for the Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry and am very excited about the Segway Tours coming to the Island. I noticed on this message board that there was quite a lot of interest from Segway owners who wanted to bring their own Segways to Angel Island, so I called the Park Superintendent and asked him. He told me that the only Segways that will be allowed on Angel Island are the ones for the organized tours, and those being used by people because of physical disabilities. I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but I also don't want people showing up and being disappointed. Angel Island is a State Park, and visitors are subject to the Stae Park regulations.

Why don't you really get upset over the larger inaccurate fact in that press release! We all know that those Miwok Indians only used that island for 5986 years! That is a whole 14 year mistake, and a much larger deal than than your argument of a single year or even a couple months...

"Tom was that you with d... when...(LB),(FP)."
I would love to tour this one..You missed the bigger picture.
CRASH

There's a major contradiction between post 21 and 24. One says personal Segs are OK, the other says they're not allowed.

This needs to be cleared up. I need to know if I should cancel my hotel reservations or not.
