$20 for a Segway Tour from Woodridge Segway Tours ($45.15 Value)

Less prone to explosions, bird collisions, and painful butt-burns, the segway has edged out the jetpack as the official ride of the 23rd century. Today’s Groupon gives you the chance to practice on these leisurely chariots of fire lest the future overtake you at 12.5 miles per hour: for $20, you get a segway tour from Woodridge Segway Tours in Woodridge, NY (a $45.15 value). Set against the rustic backdrop of the Catskills, Woodridge Segway Tours motorizes motionless feet by way of human transporter through a two-mile, nature-filled tour. The segway tour sends beginning balancers and intermediate voyagers alike through a relaxing 90-minute cruise from Mountain Dale to Woodridge while passing through six enthralling hamlets. The Rail Trail will showcase pristine mountain views, nose-approved fresh air, and glistening streams of critters fiercely kayaking. Helmets are worn throughout the tour; the segway itself glides along the natural, unpaved trails while responding to body movements for balance. Tour guides will ensure that their guests learn the motions, which include leaning forward to speed up, leaning back to slow down, or making a hard left to swan dive over pole-vault-shaped bushes.
