Manchester is not as hilly as Austin, IME. Also, in Manchester, the
population density/average in-city distance to commute is more favorable
for using a Segway than it would be in Austin.
I think it's hillier than Nashua, though (although Dee would be the
better judge of *that*; nobody would care about the hilliness of Hollis,
which I could tell you about, at least the eastern half of it).
