I saw a group of six to eight touring Washington DC on Segways and thought they looked liked the way to see the outdoor sights. I read the Segway pamphlet regarding age and physical requirements and it stated that the person needs to be able to step on and off quickly and wondered if this would be a problem for me. I also wondered about balancing, however, after riding my bicycle a few times in SeptemberI think I could also balance on a Segway. I would be game to try one.
I didn't post that I had finally overcome my fear of getting on and of my bike and was able to ride it for twenty minutes around town. Yay! What freedom! My new goal is to someday be able to ride around Mackinac Island which was our favorite vacation spot before TM. We haven't been back there since TM in 2003.
