Atlanta needs a Segway rental facility!!!
 
I was talking to a friend of mine who was on my team a while back because I heard he had rented a Segway for about 4 days while at a conference in Baltimore this past weekend. ($300 dollar rental fee btw.)

I thought that was a good idea, and had the same idea for renting a Segway for the Championship event while I was in Atlanta.

To my shock, and dismay, the closest places to rent a Segway was 24 miles, 88 miles, and over 200 miles away in the (apparently larger than I originally thought) state of GA.

I'm calling for either Segway or an independent dealer to set up shop *even if just for the weekend of the Championship Event* in Atlanta for renting Segways.

Atlanta has been on the forefront of Segway use since it's introduction, and I think at least one rental place in a city that size would be great.

Hmm...Well if there is enough of a market I would be willing to talk to one of the Segway dealers in Alpharetta and see what he thinks about the idea.

I'd love to get my hands on a red i180 Segway to ride around at the Championships! Red key + Red i180 = Ultimate coolness. :p

I had a Segway with me in Atlanta in 2004 and it was extremely useful in getting to-from my hotel and riding around the GA Dome & WCC. I highly recommend it. One bad thing though, the security guards started enforcing No-Segway rules until Dean Kamen talked to them (or so I heard). So I hope parts of the WCC and GA Dome are still Segway friendly this year.

I wouldn't take the security risk and ride one through the pits though; that gets too stuffy.

Who handles EMS at the Georga Dome? If they're public, then I think I can free up some investment capital ;) :eek: ;)

Great idea... if I could afford to rent a segway, I could definitely see myself using this service... :rolleyes:
