*Im going to be in the newspaper for riding my unicycle(feature
artilce) and they asked my questions that I need some help with.
1How did you begin riding a unicycle?Why?When?
2 How many other unicyclists do you know (how many on
unicyclist.com)?
3What kind of response do you get to riding your unicycle?
4Do you ride in the rain, or when its really cold?
5What do you do if you need to stop on your unicycle(if it dosent have
brake
I know these are my questions but I need some classic comebacks THANKS
*

Honestly, these are not the kind of questions that require any of the
"classic comebacks" If you want promote unicycling, answer the questions
truthfully to the best of your ability. The third question may offer
some bits of humor if you've been called a clown while riding or asked
where your other wheel is; but for a school publication that has the
potential to interest others in riding and even make you some new
friends, I'd tend not to be snide or express the sentiment seen here
that non-riders are idiots.

It's a great opportunity you have. By all means be funny but remember
that reporters can twist your words. 😉

Who is Feen Phenique and why does he keep a secret hideout in
Brooklyn?

The narcotic that forges their union, is a substance known only to one
To the clown it is known as dominion, it’s a secret that he’ll give to
none
The drug which gives the clown power, means the circus can never be
stopped
And his dream can go on unhindered, ’til the last human being has
dropped

I have been stopped by people who are truely interested and have listed
a few of their most common questions below.

1) How do you stop?

2) How do you go down hill?

3) How do you slow down?

I have come to realize that most people view the unicycle as a bicycle
missing a wheel. They expect the rider to be able to coast like a bike
and require brakes to stop. It may be helpful if you first give a brief
mechanical description of a unicycle and how it works.

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.
