The Experience

By the time I finally got the hang of balancing on the Segway (it took longer than I’d admit), our guide Sam was already joking about how he’d seen every kind of “Segway dance” in Edmonton’s river valley. We started under these tall cottonwoods, helmets slightly askew, and I could smell the wet grass from last night’s rain. The training part was actually fun—Sam had us weaving around cones, laughing at ourselves. My friend nearly toppled over trying to wave at a passing jogger. No one judged.

Once we rolled out onto the path, everything felt quieter except for that low hum of the Segways and birds somewhere above us. The North Saskatchewan River looked almost silver in the morning light—colder than it probably was. We stopped where you could see the Edmonton Riverboat docked below, and Sam pointed out which bridges were new versus old (I always forget names). He knew little details about the city—like why that arch bridge is everyone’s go-to for skyline photos. I tried to take one but mostly just got my own helmet in the shot.

I didn’t expect to feel so… free? There’s something about gliding along with a small group, wind in your face, not worrying about traffic or hills for once. When we crossed near that big white bridge—sorry, I’m blanking on its name—the city opened up in front of us. Someone yelled “race you!” but none of us really raced; we just coasted slow enough to take it all in. It’s weird how you notice different things when you’re not walking or driving—like how sharp the air smells near the water or how people smile when they see a pack of adults wobbling by on Segways. I still think about that view sometimes.
