I had a 3 hours ride on one of those Sunday and it was...
My friend's idea, she has been hallucinating about riding one since chol hamoed Pesach, we were in Washington DC today (don't ask how or why) and ended up riding the famous Segway! What hurt me most is the cost $70.00 per person to get on one of these and ride in an organized tour around the Mall, the Smithsonian and other DC attractions.
The Segways are easy to ride, there is practically no physical activity involved, it is self balancing, the way to move foreword or back is by moving hips slightly to the front or to the back , a bit like swaying, we ended up -of course- racing and trying to apply roller techniques on the machine, it takes a considerable amount off the batteries but it is fun.
Worth the $? Definitely.
Worth trying? Definitely.

Kinda nerdy.
I don't think real walking is gonna go out of style too quick.
You are wantink a Segvay free? I am knowink from many off der boat dokters what is writink to you a note that you are needink it far medicational reazons end dey are chargink maybe 100 tolar. Den you are doink tings der Kreedmoor veg, you sign up on Medikaid mit a phoney name and boom you ken ride your Segway all over der prizen exercize yard!!!!
nemo> It is, and a little clumsy when compared to walking, but I am thinking it might replace scooters...euh, maybe not.
der> lol, but how can I pay for maintenance and electricity? the medicaid covers that too?
Someone was actually using a Segway in the big mall here in Dnepropetrovsk this morning. I guess it was part of a promotion.
And yes der Medikaid covers alles and even a naye Segvay in a por yor'n!
Blogrolled you!
Der>The thing is international!
