Take The Next Five Minutes To Get Used To The Hand Controls

To ride a Segway is considered in the industry, 'to glide.' These gliders were spotted at the bottom of the steps of the Philly Art Museum gathering for a tour of one of the oldest cities in the United States. The leader, in the noticeably bright red baseball hat, had a mic head set on that enabled him to speak loudly over the Segway's roaring engines. As the group accumulated they took the first ten minutes to acquaint themselves with the precarious nature of the Segway. And this is did NOT look easy! Gliding is not recommended to those who suffer from ailments of the inner ear.

Upon first spying this group of d-bags I was immediately amused in a look-at-those-losers kind of way (hence the pictures), but as they sped off into the maze of Philly's old town, I couldn't help as I glanced down at my own two sandled feet - hardly means by which to glide - feeling a slight pang of jealousy.
