A morning in Edmonton’s river valley begins with the quiet hum of wheels and a quick training drill — the guide voices clear over the breeze off the North Saskatchewan. After a 20–30 minute clinic, riders push off on Segways and glide along paved park trails, the river daring you to look up from the handlebars. Trees slope down to wide green flats; sandstone bluffs and patches of prairie grass flicker past as the city skyline peeks through.
