You've probably heard about skater parks before, but at Danfoss Universe in Denmark they've built Europes first Segway test track and for the next year, they'll let you ride it provided you give them feedback on how to improve the track. I couldn't resist - I HAD to try it - it sounded way too fun to pass up an opportunity like this.
Here I am trying to get over the small hills. Getting up hill was easy enough. Getting down was weird because you had to lean so much forward. If you lean backwards on the segway it drives backwards.
Here I am at the end of the track just getting the hang of it - see that big savy smile on my face?

If you can find the time to go to Danfoss Universe, its worth the long drive. Its a park dedicated to science and technology. In their new house called cumulus (its even shaped as a cloud) they have an interactive Bitland where you can manipulate technology in a physical manner, fx. you can text another "phone" but its so big you have to use your feet and jump from button to button.
You can also experience the Icelandic contribution to the World EXPO 2000 in Hanover.
Its worth a visit.
Hi Sidsel.Nice Photo. What is that machine on which you are riding ? Something like a motor Operated Bicycle ?
