(RELEASE) Enjoy one of the most beautiful skylines in the world illuminated in its evening splendor. We'll ride through Grant Park and make our way to the Museum Campus.

You haven't seen Chicago until you've seen it at night. It's difficult to decide which is more spectacular - the fireworks or the Chicago evening skyline.

FAQ Segway questions:
What is a Segway?
A Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery-operated human transportation vehicle. It is operated in a standing position. It should not be confused with a scooter, or cegway. It is a non-motorized, eco-friendly machine that uses renewable credit energy during its operation. The Segway leaves no carbon footprint on the environment. Go Green, Go Segway, Go Absolutely!
Is it safe?
