Segway Fun

It was a morning of Segway fun through the streets of Cincinnati.  After some brief training and a near fall, it wasn't long before the mind and body figured the gyroscopic logic inside the Segway.

The Cincinnati tour was suggested by K.C. and it lived up to the hype.  There were areas of Cincinnati that I had not seen (even after living in the area over 35 years).  The German architecture and traditions in Cincinnati were all described by our tour guide - Chris.  Key to Cincinnati's success was the Erie canal and Ohio River commerce.  In fact the only reason Chicago became the Midwest largest city is because of the railroads - a key reason to change with the technology!

Mark Twain was rumored to have a quote about Cincinnati - “When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it’s always 10 years (sometimes quoted as 20 yrs) behind the times.” 

So let's see ---  the Segway was introduced Dec. 3, 2001.  I guess 10 years is about right for me to try it out in Cincinnati. :)
