Travelers Company

My favourite activity during the #catexp BlogTrip09 to Catalonia, Spain 17 – 20 December 2009 was the Barcelona Segway Tour. I have to admit that I didn’t even know what a segway was before I read the trip itinerary.

I was feeling a bit nervous about riding on this self balancing two wheeled electrically powered mode of transport. However after a near miss with a wall during the initial training, I did get the hang of leaning forward to move forward, leaning back to reverse and standing straight to brake.

After getting used to riding the segway, I was even daring enough to take one hand off the handle bars to record a video with the other hand.

It’s a great way to see Barcelona. Have you ridden a segway, did you enjoy it?
