Segway as a way of life (by: Shay)

My name is Shay and I currently live in the great state of Texas. In 2001 I heard about “IT”, code named “Ginger” later named “Segway” as most others did thru the media. It wasn’t until 2004 that a relative intruduced me to the actual product in Chicago. After riding the Segway around Chicago, I realized that this was the type of product that would allow me to stay atheletic, promoting the fun aspect of being outdoors. Late in 2004 the company I worked for went thru a company wide pay adjustment which meant a change was necesssary. I immediately gave notice, bought my first Segway and have not looked back since. My Segway tour company now offers daily guided Segway tours with our current fleet of 18 Segways. Thank you 10mph for exposing the public, your video is awesome! Waking up everyday knowing my primary job is to introduce and train new Segway riders via a city tour is unbelievably satisfying and profitable!
