I like - taking single speed to new heights - would make a great
T-shirt. Recently I was leaving a MTB trail and a MTB rider pulled in
and asked how the trail was. When I replied they were in great shape he
said good because he was going hardcore since he would be riding a
single speed. I said me too, and showed him my ride. He lost his
swagger when he asked if I did a full 9 mile lap, and I replied no -
two. Sure its not nice to gloat, but he started it.....

Several of them cracking jokes about 29er unicycles... I wonder what
they'd think if they one day saw an actual 29er uni on the trails. Or
a Coker :-)

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

I found their responses to be pretty narrow minded and pathetic, but
maybe that's why they all ride bikes.:D

Nice! I think that's Jake Sprague..."bleedfortrials" here. I've seen
much nastier comments in the bike trials forums.

I ride my 29er on my local trails. I hear all the typical remarks from
mountain bikers...and then I pass them on a hill climb, bomb through
rock gardens they hike over, and take drops they go around.

The "lost a wheel" remarks stop soon afterwards.:D

there's a thread in their 29er forum about 29er unicycles. it's mostly
positive stuff. all the bikers i've even encountered have been
impressed/enthused by what i'm doing. i've done a 24 hour race in iowa
a few times, all positive comments, and when i've been in moab,
everyone think's we're crazy as hell, but pretty cool.

They are all along the same lines, but this one made me laugh.

If you read the comments for other pictures, they are all very similar,
so it must be the spirit of their forums: numb jokes.

they don`t know at all what they are talking about. that`s why they keep
talking through there asses...

my mother is a mountain biker. pretty good... she has like five bikes
and go on 60 Km trails (she was even 3rd place in the iron biker in
amateur categorie). she likes a lot that I unicycle. I`ve gone riding
with her friends and they were very impressed that I could kep up with
them (on palne ground and climbing hills - with a qu-ax 20"!!!).

there are flatland guys in Sao Paulo that like the unis too. I`ve met
some street riders that even wanted to learn how to ride...

I think those riders are just ignorant people toalking about something
they don`t know about

I think it's less about them being "narrow minded and pathetic" and more
about you guys not being able to take a joke.

If you click any of the other pictures you will soon see they are just
as irrelevant about the biker pictures.

e.g. the biker probably about to face plant (this is the next picture
from the Uni - Moab? and blue sky):

"Man... I gotta stop smilin. That gas felt great but way too much lift
and at the wrong time...." etc.

Those were pretty funny, but a lot of them were quite similar. I think
the superman one was the best. That made me laugh.

dont judge mountain biker by those comments, some were pretty funny too,
i ride my bike 50% and uni 50%.
Mountain biking is good and some people are narrow minded i bet if
there was a post on here similar to that with a mountain bike you would
get some idiots saying stupid narrow minded comments like some of them.

What "Good thing I bought the stabiliser wheel", "Thank goodness I've
got two chances to land this jump" etc.?
