Segways quickly transport people to new and exciting locations, just like elevators, action movies, and frond-covered pit traps. Let yourself get carried away with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a 45-minute Segway tour, plus 15 minutes of safety training, from Segway Adventures (a $60 value).

Segway Adventures leads inquisitive adventurers on guided tours through a number of Montgomery's parks and historic sites. The four-rider tour groups can explore the meandering trails that traverse the 300-acre Blount Cultural Park, home to magnificent vistas, a wood-and-stone bridge, three lakes, a pond, and a puddle, or brush up on the history of equality with two-wheeled fly-bys of cultural landmarks relevant to the civil rights movement. The 45-minute tours can also cover Old Cloverdale, Fitzgerald Museum, or, like a liberal-arts degree or an unorthodox banana split, can be customized to the whim of the customer.
