DCist had nearly forgotten about the start of Segway tours of the capital’s major attractions, until this weekend when we came across this scene at the intersection of New Jersey Avenue and C Street NW.

City Segway Tours, which operates similar operations in Nice, Paris, New Orleans and Chicago, started operations in the nation’s capital this summer. The company hosts both day and night tours of the White House area, memorials, Smithsonian campus and U.S. Capitol, all for the price of $65.

DCist saw at least one person have trouble with gizmo in our short encounter with the herd of Segways making their way up to Union Station. But for the most part, everyone glided across streets and along sidewalks with relative ease.

The operation is owned by Fat Tire Bike Tours of Paris, which has been doing bike tours for English-speaking visitors the past six years.

DCist has seen Segways around Dupont Circle. Have you spotted any recently?
