Sunday's Column - Skating and Segway

There are two new ways to get around on two feet up in Big Bear.  You can now skate again and also ride the trails on Segways.  Big Bear always used to have a skating rink, but it turned in to a roller rink about 25 years ago and then after only a year or two of operation it turned into an antiques mall - Ugh!
Big Bear's new rink is a lot smaller and also it doesn't have any ice.  It's a plastic surface that you can use real ice skates on.  The kids seem to love it.


This is Kaitlin with her "walker." She really didn't need it!




 Just along the road and down Bartlett you can find another interesting way to get around the area, via Segways.  These fascinating machines operate with gyroscopes and you just lean in the direction you want to go.  Very easy to learn and a lot of fun to use.
