Making one 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. Practice taming these leisurely chariots of the future with today's Groupon: for $22, you get a micro tour from Segway Tours of Delray Beach (a $45 value).

Segway Tours' guides outfit sightseers with their own vertical vehicles and show them the many marvels of the Pineapple Grove area. Following a two-tire tutorial, a maximum of nine travelers at once strap on helmets and glide to local landmarks such as historic Old School Square and Veterans Park. After that, the makeshift velocipedes take a sun-drenched cruise down the Intracoastal Waterway to gawk and make baby noises at the quaint architecture of the Marina District. The micro tour lasts one hour, leaving ample time in the day for eating, shopping, and trying to feed the parking meter with sand dollars.
