Gleich was one of the first Segway enthusiasts in the New York area, logging more than 10,000 miles.[2] Using his Segway to commute to work every day has landed him several moving violations, followed by subsequent appearances in court to defend them.[1][3]

Gleich won first prize in the Motorized Float division[4] at the 2009 Coney Island Mermaid Parade appearing as Zoltar (from the film Big) on his Segway.[5][6] In 2008 he won third place[7] as a "Segway Pirate."[8]
