Ah yes, the open road, the whine of the electric motor, the light breeze in your hair: American Seque — America at 10MPH
Starting August 5, 2004, Spinning Blue will produce an online documentary experience of America as seen from a Segway Human Transporter traveling coast-to-coast from Seattle, Washington to Boston, Massachusetts. Daily video, audio, and photo updates will allow you to hear stories and see footage from across the United States. The expedition is expected to last through October.

A few months ago, we told you about a couple of guys who were trying to Segway across America. Well, it looks like if they can make it through today, they've pulled it off. Boston - Nov. 16 - 6:00pm Come celebrate the coast-to-coast finish at Boston Sail…
By my calcuations, this is probably going to come through South Dakota at some point. I'll be there, camera in hand.
I jut checked the route -- it looks like they're going out of their way to miss our great state. Too bad.
These guys have obviously never been through Kansas at 60mph. Two days of driving through western Kansas wheat fields at 10mph may cause them to swerve into oncoming traffic. Good luck to them though. They may need it.
