text: If you have never been on a Segway before, you need to make that a priority. This is actually not an opinion; it's a fact. I have been to Comtemporide several times now with family and friends.  \n\nComtemporide's location in Old Town Scottsdale makes it a perfect place to travel around. There are so many great sites to see and the best part is, you can see so much of the city, because you can travel anywhere (sidewalks or streets) and can travel up to 13 mph!\n\nIt was great for my family (who have done it the last two times they have been in town to visit me), because my dad does not do well walking long distances, but my mom likes to see all of the shops. This was a GREAT compromise.\n\nThis last Saturday I went with my father and uncle. My father insisted that we ride them again and my uncle has never been on one before. My uncle was not excited about going, but after the first ten minutes, he enjoyed it so much, I spend the next two hours trying to catch up with him. \n\nHere are my observations:\n\n1. Everyone thinks they must be hard to ride. But the truth is, it only takes 2-3 minutes to get comfortable on them, and after your first 10 minutes, you want to be Evil Knievel.\n\n2. Everyone first thinks that they wouldn't like to ride them, but everyone walks away with a great appreciation of the exciting technology. Some people like the thrill of the ride, others might be the convenience of travel.\n\n3. People think the Segways look weird when you drive them, but after you drive one yourself, normal people walking around will look weird to you!\n\nTake a risk and try a Segway, you'll love it. It's a fact!
