A city is a place of tremendous variety, usually constructed upon rock ‘n’ roll. Plumb the secret depths of D.C. with today's Groupon: for $35, you get a two-hour segway sightseeing tour from Capital Segway (up to an $80 value).

Capital Segway's tours allow sightseers to cover an entire day's worth of sightseeing in just two hours and secure a clear glimpse of federal landmarks unobstructed by bus windows or disgruntled hang gliders. Balanced elegantly atop well-maintained Segway i2 and x2 off-road machines, upright riders survey our nation's capital atop their glistening steeds. After a brief training session, segwayfarers embark on a campaign at speeds up to 12.5 mph to rediscover such pillars of history as the White House, Botanical Gardens, Smithsonian, FBI Building, Capitol Building, and the combination KFC/Sunglass Hut. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable guides lead evening tours as well, so riders can follow the Potomac River at dusk and experience the national monuments illuminated. Along the way, Capital Segway relays enlightening historical tidbits through iPod-based audio systems; don't forget to tote along a camera.

kick them off the forum and they just show up somewhere else. 'guess the company is trying to entice customers to come out before february, when hg pilots are known to get the most disgruntled and become a menace to the all of society!

I wonder how they can possibly avoid disgruntled hang gliders.
