Tim Rodriguez, of Streeterville, Ill., was on the way back from South By Southwest last year when his girlfriend Brie Black snapped this pic of a man casually driving his Segway on to Chicago’s Lake Shore while also taking a call on his phone.

An unverified comment on Reddit mentioned that the man owns a Segway tour company that operates out of Chicago’s Navy Pier, but it’s unlikely this particular tour is offered as part of the package.
