I've been wanting to get on a Segway personal transport for years now ever since I was in Put-In-Bay and saw the tours up there. I finally rode on one!
There's a place in Akron that has just opened up uniques townhomes for sale called Spicer Village that has some lovely multi-level units that even had rooftop terraces!
Those who can envision what this new area will look like when they have the beautiful common areas in, and the landscaping all done could find a home close to everything around the Akron, Ohio downtown and University Of Akron areas. Lots of great changes going on in that area!
Mike Wiant was kind enough to show us around the townhomes, and even taught my husband Kevin and I how to ride the Segways that the residents will have available to them (no, that's not us in the picture).
What a weird feeling as you try to find your balance on them, but soon you're whizzing around with Mike walking close at hand so you feel safe and don't get freaked out when you rock back on your heels too far LOL. It made me feel like a kid again!
You use your feet to control it, going forward by shifting onto your toes, and back by rocking back onto your heels. After awhile, you get more confident and start going faster and find out it's really a lot of fun!
Mike looked like a skier on dry land, zooming around corners and taking corners at a fast clip. He also takes people interested in seeing Spicer Village on a tour of the area, but we stayed close to the townhomes since we had another appointment right after that.
