I LOVE the unicyclist community or the incredible story of my lost Coker!!

Pat on the back to all the contributors that aided in the return of the
unicycle.

Its great to have an international community !!!!

There's not enough darkness in all the world to extinguish the light of
a single candle.
Let alone a bunch of candles.

Good job all.

Burning Candle Awards all round.

The internet is rife with rumours that Samuel Jackson will be playing
the part of Roger in the upcoming Anso/Coker movie.

Is this true?

Apparently so.

There's also talk that the movie might be called 'Cokers on a
Conveyor'.

I'd heard it was Peter Mayhew. Chewbacca

Anso, We better be seeing that 36'er at RTL now!

Stories like this make me afraid to fly anywhere with my unicycle! That
sounds like such a hassle, I can't believe it took this long for
everything to resolve and that you had to go through completely
alternative channels to get your property back. This is unacceptable
behavior from British Airlines. Did you receive any claim money from
the airlines for the "lost" luggage?

There are always horror stories about bikes getting destroyed by airline
baggage handlers (bent wheels and frames). I took my expensive (and
new at the time) bike to Norway in the early '90s and worried like mad
about it - in fact I almost took my old bike instead but then decided
there's no point in having a good bike if I don't use it for what it
was intended for. I boxed it up in a bike box and went by SAS rather
than a budget airline (they were reputed to have a better record with
bikes) and had no problems at all.

Nasty things happen, but I think they're in a small minority of cases.
It's just that we hear about them when they do happen.

I'm planning on taking my coker (and muni) to unicon and won't be too
worried about them. Although their combined value is nothing compared
with my bike, and they're easily replaceable, which does make a
difference.

Don't worry about Nova Scotia. I have a plan already. I'll turn up
early and have a word with the bagage handlers. Your unicycle and Joes
will be fine. Everyone elses will mysteriously turn up on June 20th,
just after The Goonies have won RTL

STM - hoping that no other teams read this

PS - Johnny Vegas' sidekick, Monkeh can play me in the blockbuster
movie when it comes out

Fantastic that the story has a good ending. I've flown British Airways
probably 10 times or more, but only twice with a 36" unicycle. They
lost it one of those times (also Heathrow of course), so they have a
50% failure rate with me. It's convenient when the airline loses your
luggage then delivers it the next day - what you suffered is
ridiculous. Twice on eBay - amazing.

I felt so bad for you that first day in Ljubljana when you couldn't
ride. And then even when Jure lent you his (supposedly the only 36"
cycle in all of Slovenia by the way), and you rode it so well and so
far - it still wasn't the same for you. But you still ended up loving
distance riding! Look at your smile, leading the pack, 10m from the end
of MUT on Jure's cycle.

As others have said, you need to come to Nova Scotia now!
