Re: Quote of the day (from non-riders)

[OneWheelLess]

now that I look back on it... Nothing's funnier than being followed by a
tone deaf homeless dude trying to hum the circus tune, lol. At the time
I was somewhat annoyed. He then proceeded to try to bum cigarettes, and
then caught himself and said "oh I guess you probably don't smoke, so
you can stay healthy and keep doing that" to which I responded there
were other reasons I didn't smoke. He asked why and I said I just prefer
to stay healthy so I can enjoy my life to the fullest, and not end up w/
cancer some day. It appeared this was not a concept that had occurred to
him, lol

There is a school near my house that I ride at often because of urban
obstcles and things. Seems like whenever I go there I get a "hey look
its the unicycle man!" or a "look,he's riding on a unicycle" and one
time I got a "hey daddy,he's riding a bike with one wheel!" from all of
the kids on the playgrounds Haha.they all just make me laugh.

would have been hard core

While riding my Nimbus 36 on the street, half way up one of the steepest
hills I'm able to climb, struggling a bit because I'm not used to the
short cranks, a man driving down stops, rolls down his window and asks
me directions. I point that it's back the way he came, while thinking,
give me a freaking break.

Then the insensitive man proves what an idiot he is by backing up the
hill to get back to the intersection, with traffic already backed up
behind him.

I didn't wait around, didn't hear a crash, just glad he didn't run me
over.

Made the hill.

Yeah, I remember one comment I got last winter during my first test run
with the studded tyre on my 26. There was ice everywhere and people were
having enough trouble staying on their feet, while I was casually
rolling along on the wheel.

While waiting for the green light to cross a street a guy asks me
slightly uncertainly "Did you lose a bet or are you doing this on a
dare?". I just replied that I did it for the fun of it. I don't think he
accepted that explanation, but at least he didn't get in my way when the
light turned green :p

these two road biker guys in full spanex were sitting on the side of the
road changing a tire and they were clearly trying to be like the "cooL
guys'
so of course they have to ask me....where is your other wheel

I just told them i took off my training wheel cause having a second
wheel was for girls.

and this girl with them started laughing and they got really
embarrassed.
Not sure if it was because they couldnt change their tire or because
the girl was laughing at them. it was funny all the same

"The man said 'look dear, a penny farthing'...i just smiled and thought
to myself 'yeah, thats right, a penny farthing......"

It's really irritating to me, but when I do a search on Ebay for
unicycles, invariably there's several pictures or figurines with
penny-farthings which the ignorant sellers have called unicycles. Guess
they figure that little wheel doesn't count.

I got some great responses from skaters today. They thought it was

rotations in 5 minutes (I guess the balance transfers over). It's not a

Forrest Ranger, We were told to bring you in for riding before the trail
opened.

They had grand opening of a trail in Hyde Park NY today. My being a
few minutes early and the only person on a unicycle (or a bicycle), I
didn't feel like being a spectacle at the ribbon cutting so I sneaked
around the ribbon and was the first one on the trail. Had it to myself.
Turns out the opening ceremony was delayed so much that I made the trip
to the end and back, arriving just as the first crowd were starting to
hike.

Luckily, the Ranger's were amused and just joking with me.

Had TONS of comments today too many to remember really, lots of
impressed people talked to us and asked us to show some stuff to them.
One shy little boy with his parents asked me and Phil(catinabag1) to
show him some tricks "Hi... ummm can you umm... show us... ummm how ummm
you umm ride umm those and umm show some tricks please?" it was sooo
cute haha. Me and Phil were riding this one wall and a whole photography
class came up to us and asked if they could take pictures for their
class. that was cool I ended up doing a few unispins and wheelwalking
and stuff I even rode most of the skinney with photography students
heads and expensive cameras inches from my head I also fell crotch first
into a really point stabby bush that was on one side of the bush. Then
we were at another place outside a dumpy apartment complex playing on a
set of parking barriers and a planter box type thing that was falling
apart and some guy came by to go into his apartment and he said "it's
about time someone put this crap to good use." and another guy was
heading into his apartment and We were riding and he said "what if you
did some sort of backside 180 and then rode off it?" Then I did it and
he said "Man that was the Scariest yet coolest thing I've seen all day,
I was really hung over until that point." and he went inside. After that
a guy came up and started videoing us on his cell phone to send to his
sister in another state. Then we went to PGE park and rode and a guy who
was probably high and drunk came up to us and said "F*** unicycling man,
take up skateboarding and alcohol abuse and you'll be happy... Well
maybe not but yeah forget unicycling man, skateboarding and alcohol."
Phil was laughing and he got in Phil's face and said "What it was good
advice man." As he walked away he said something about unicycling that
we didn't hear but it was funny.

ninja spins are just my style of unispins lol My left(or right
depending on the launch) foot just comes straight up and the other leg
extends all the way out and the 'backside 180' was just his way of
saying riding forward and 180ing the gap... look up backside 180 ollie

Cycling along the canal towpath during lunch break, a lovely, sunny day.
Ahead, a bench is set back from the path, and a couple is sitting on it.
It looked as if it was a "first kiss" moment, both droopy eyed, he was
bending over her, poised to stick his tongue down her throat. She
spotted me from the corner of her eye and burst into a very un-ladylike
belly laugh. He looked distraught.

A beautiful moment spoilt for them ;)
