Segway Future

Hi All,
I just had to share my first "Segway moment" with everyone.
Tomorrow marks my wife and my one week anniversary with our two new i2s. This afternoon around lunch time I began thinking of where I wanted to eat. Togos for a sandwich sounded good, but my local strip mall is a nightmare around lunch, parking almost nonexistent. Ah, but that was my pre-Segway days!
I simply phoned up Togos, gave my order and hopped on my i2 for the pleasant ride to the mall. Sure enough, I entered the strip mall to be met by utter gridlock. Smile on my face I safely made my way on the walkway to the restaurant. The line was clear out the door. I glided up to the take-out window and got my lunch, never having to dismount. By the time I had payed for my lunch, I had gathered quite a crowd asking what I was on, how fast does it go, what does it cost and how the heck does it work!
I answered all the questions I could, dropped my sandwich in my handlebar bag and I was off. All this in less time than to find a parking spot! It was at that glorious moment that I truly realized that our new Segways are life-changing!
What a great experience!
