Houston Toyota Arena has a couple of Segways for the mascots. While meeting the General Manager, I convinced him to let me ride the mascots machine. Much to the chagrin of all the security staff, I motored around all backstage for about an hour. I think even the GM was thinking... "that is about enough"
I would never buy one of these things ($4500 on Amazon.com) but like everyone else, I relished the opportunity to try the ride. In no time I was riding like a pro and I enjoyed the experience. But I still would not buy one....
