Chicago Segway Tour

Today I learned how to drive a Segway!  I went on a Chicago Segway Tour along the lakefront with my friend/neighbor Ashleigh.  Before going on the tour, we had a 30 minute lesson on how to operate the self balancing Segway.  The cost to replace a Segway is about $6,000, so they warned us not to drive the Segway into the lake.  Segways have a maximum speed of about 12 mph (roughly equivalent to a 5-minute mile).  The tour started at Navy Pier, traveled down to Soldier Field, and looped back up to where we began.
