Oh, man...is it too big to fit in the car? Too distracting? Too valuable? Too weird? Is there a really good reason for you not to have a mode of transportation that doubles as exercise and mental release while you are working hard at school? Unless you think your dad will come around to negotiation (I mean, I assume you are an responsible adult who can handle the allure of a unicycle in the corner when you are supposed to be studying), or unless there is a *good* (i.e., not petty) reason for you not to take it along, I second the motion... sneak that sucker in... Good luck! -- slugbath - Toodling... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slugbath's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/432 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27407 |

I used my unicycle as transportation for all five years of my four year degree as well. They work very well, since they usually can be taken into your apartment.

Old enough to fight for country = legal age = age at which one can make unicycle decisions independently. Of course, this is realizing that if Dad is helping with college $, then all of the above still don't equal "age at which one can tell Dad to take a flying ____ at the moon". Wait 'till he leaves, then figure out how to siphon off some of your book money into a new uni. That way you still have one when you go home for weekends. Come to think of it, isn't that what college loans are for? -- tomblackwood - Registered Nurtz My other brake is my face! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomblackwood's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3762 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27407 |

I don't know what you're complaining about. The real question is, 'will he let you bring your new uni home at Xmas?' -- Sofa - My Custom Beard 'London Unicycling Club' (http://londonunicyclingclub.ca) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sofa's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/706 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27407 |

I'm sure that is the reason your Dad wants you to leave your current Uni at home. A student loan will allow you to buy the Unicycle of your dreams. Unlike Paco and UniBrier, I was able to complete my 71/2 years of college in 6 1/2 years, all with Uni in tow. I think it made me smarter.

I have to disagree with everyone here. The reason ubersquish's dad doesn't want him to bring a unicycle to college is so he'll have more time to drink beer. We all know that the purpose of college is to learn to drink beer and this is just his dad's way of saying so. Since he won't have his unicycle he won't waste all that time practicing new skills which will leave more time for drinking beer. And since he won't have a unicycle he won't get labeled as a nerd and he'll get invited to more parties where he'll get to drink even more beer. See, it's all logical. -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (at) hotmail (dot) com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27407 |

there's a light rail route going from where my uni is to a little less than 8 miles north of campus. i'll take that home, sneak in and take the uni, and then back to college of course, this will have to wait for my foot to heal, along with my hamstring. last thursday i dodged a car (or moved to the side of the road to let it pass) and upd'ed. first one i've had that landed me on my tush. i hurt my heel then, and proceeded to college where i walked lots and lots on it. monday purple bruisish looking things showed up on it, and then tuesday my hamstring started hurting whenever i walked. also tuesday, i noticed that both the heel and the tendon were rather swollen, so i went to the university health center where the doctor told me to get it xrayed to see if i had broken anything. i plan on getting the xray tommorrow morning three reasons now for me not being able to ride: unicycle is not here; my foot will fall off if i try to go get it, my foot will fall off during freemount practice if i somehow got it here. poo -- ubersquish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ubersquish's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4328 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27407 |
