Man Plans to Offer Segway Tours of Mississippi Riverfront

When considering a tour of the Mississippi River, most people think of paddle boats or tubes, but Mike Mott wants you to think of Segways. Mott is working with Iowa officials and the city of Davenport to set up Segway tours along the Mississippi River recreational trail. "Mott said his tours will begin in the parking lot of the Union Station Visitors Center at 102 S. Harrison St. After a 20-minute safety orientation, the tours will proceed west to Credit Island, then back to the visitors center and east to the Davenport-Bettendorf border and back again. The tours will take about two hours and will include information about local history and sites of interest, Mott said."
