Re: Is Your Favorite Ride a Segway?

I was able to borrow a Segway for Atlanta this year. It helped out a lot to get from here to there in a hurry. We had a couple of times where getting to the playing fields from the pits was essential for problems with inspections. It fulfilled everything that people said it could do and it worked well except for a few things. Where to park it during the day and where to park it during final ceremonies. I was able to hide it in the back of the inspection booth but in the stadium, there was really no place to park it while in a seat. I ended up putting it in an area where there were a lot of wheelchairs and child strollers.
I was able to ride right from my hotel room at the Omni to the pit in justs a few minutes. I even mastered taking it on the escalator when the elevator was in use. What is the most difficult thing is trying to convince someone that it is borrowed and you can't give lessons or rides. The convention center staff needs to be informed though as some wouldn't let anyone ride a Segway on a carpet in the pit building
