Segway

Yes! I finally got to ride on a Segway! (what’s going on in the back on that picture anyway?)

I love Orlando. There’s so much to do. After work today, I went home, put on some shorts and a t-shirt and I drove over to Epcot. I went into Innoventions and they had a Segway exhibit. I waited a couple of minutes and they let us into a room where they gave us a demonstration of the Segway, asnwered our questions and then asked us to sign a release form.

After that we went on to a small track where we each got to ride our own Segway. It was great. As you may know, to go forward, you sort of lean forward and it moves, to go back, you sort of lean back and it goes back. Well, the Segway is self-balancing and it does what it can so that you don’t fall. But so does your body. So I got on it, the Segway started to balance itself so that I would stay safe on it, so it moved forward a little, and my body leaned back a bit, which made the Segway start to go back, so I leaned forward, and the thing would start moving. So basically it vibrated, it was all tiny movements between my body and the Segway.

But then you learn to look ahead instead of down and you learn to trust it. And suddenly, the thing is still. And you can move around so easily. You just glide back and forth.

It’s awesome. Now I want one to go to and from work.

I think I’m going to hell for laughing out loud. (Make sure you let it run all the way.)
