[push a cart on a Segway]

I'm having trouble visualizing that grocery cart thing. Where are each
of your hands when you're pushing or pulling it? Is any other apparatus
involved which hooks onto the cart?

Maybe I could do it easily with an empty cart, but a full week's load of
groceries takes me more than one hand to comfortably push (and steer).

I had to see it done first, too, with the overloaded trash hopper from
the lab:

The Segway they loaned me was the older model with twist-grip
steering. One hand on the steering grip, the other pushing the hopper.
It took some practice but not as much as opening and maneuvering
through the heavy, self-closing fire doors.

It helps that in the Army I learned how to control the heavy floor
buffers with one hand.
