I should say that Segways are very peaceable creatures, and within two minutes you can figure out how to glide, and if you're just an average sort of person you likely won't, for example, nearly crash while offroading your Segway up a hill and through a gulley by the Washington Monument.
"Sorry," Ovechkin said after that incident, when instructed to stay on the pavement henceforth. "I don't want to be a rat, but it's Greenie's fault."

"I'm from Russia," he said. "So, well, have fun."
"No, you have fun," she said, adding something about saving humanity.
"I don't have any money," he said.
"She said 'humanity,' " Green said.
"What does it mean," Ovechkin said.

"Have fun," he said. "Why do I have to stay home? No. It's good. Watch beautiful city, watch girls...."

"No," Ovechkin replied. "Girls, where are you? I can't find you."
