Segway

Got to try a Segway today -- kinda neat. A little finicky for the first minute or so, but the forward speed control came pretty naturally, same with backward. The turning takes a touch more practice, not quite as intuitive feeling, but requiring more thought.

"not quite as intuitive feeling, but requiring more thought." - that explains why Dubya crashed his...

Seriously though, why would you want to avoid anyform of excercise (which is essentially what a Segway does for you)?

I avoid lots of forms of exercise. Car & motorcycle, washing machine & dryer, gas BBQ, dishwasher, etc. I also reduce exercise needed for many other things, e.g. bicycle or roller-blades.

remind me how you manage to stay you spindly thin?

There is some thought I might have a "thin gene", or maybe I'm just lucky with my metabolism. I also don't each huge meals.

And, I'm no longer "spindly thin".

I tried one at the Mid-Ohio Raceway last year. They had a little racetrack set up for it. I had a blast.

I didn't think it would happen at a racetrack, but I was yelled at to slow down. :)

LOL. The guy demoing it had it on a speed-limitted setting, where it couldn't do full speed. Sounds like yours wasn't.
