Seth and I were in D.C. a while back, and I had always forgotten to post these up. I found it funny because Seth and my favorite TV show is the one these people spun the name of these segways off of.
I just found it amusing and wanted to share it with you guys!

Segways are rented in a surprising number of cities now.
I know San Francisco has multiple renters, and I saw at least one when I was up on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe this summer.

sanddragA place in Santa Monica, California rents them to ride near the beach, and there are rides in the mall (10 mins for $6) in Burbank, CA.

In Washington DC there are at least two places that operate "Segway tours of DC." It is a lot of fun to see them wandering around the city. Everyone that goes on the tours is given a quick riders course, and is required to wear a helmet. The Segways are painted pink and they all follow each other in a line, with the tour guide in front. It is like watching a little row of ducks wandering down the street! They are legal to use anywhere in the city, except on properties operated by the National Park Service - which is most of the Mall area where all the monuments are located.

Yep, and Atlanta has a Segway tour as well.... I never noticed any while we were there during competition, but on my trip down there a few weeks ago they were all over downtown. Kinda funny, like baby ducks following their mom....We actually walked past their tour office, and it's this big open space with a couple Segways out in the open.
Edit - I didn't see Dave's comment about ducks before I wrote mine!

These guys were actually at the VA State Fair last year. They were giving rides for $5 a pop, and well, as a Segway freak, I couldn't pass it up! It was a fun little obstical course. When I go back to DC I'm deffinatly going to do this!
Also, I have their business card in my wallet to this day.

A place in Chattanooga was doing tours a couple weeks after '04 nationals. I don't know if they are still around.

MattKI think there are over 30 Segway HT rental outfits nation wide.
