Re: Segway-America at 10 MPH
 
I just attended the Boston "finish line" party with the 10mph people, they were pretty cool to hang out and chat with. They are just normal adults who decided to quit their jobs and ride across America on a Segway :) . However, the finish line wasn't really today, they are arriving at the Segway plant on Thursday; that's the official end of the journey. Needless to say, the 10mph guys are tired.

I also rode around on the Segway they took x-country. Talk about durability testing! That thing is beat; although it still works well.

Well, I actually happened to be at the Segway plant today, conveniently at 2:00 PM, and got to see the team arrive. Was pretty cool. There was ALOT of Segways, a lot of cameras, and Mr. Kamen.

And as someone mentioned in the a previous post, the team really is a bunch of very normal people. You wouldn't know they have traveled across the country via Segway. Pretty awesome though!

My company had the honor of producing the custom fenders that went along with the 3 segways given to the crew at the end of their voyage!

Yup! Those were midnight Blue Fenders that we customized for them. We are going to have some crazy things coming out in the next few moths so stay tunned!
