Thank you! 🙂 That's a LWU 36" that went out to a customer, who is
training for a long-distance charity ride. I raise them, with the help
of others, then they go out and make other people happy. *proud*

I'm not emotionally attached to my unicycles at all - I have pretty much
no time or effort invested in them, they're easily replaceable (UDC
learner 20" and Nimbus II 26" muni), just tools. They're not worth any
more to me than the money I spent on them.

The same goes for my mountain bike, computer, lawnmower etc...

My custom-framed road bike, I'm ashamed to say, is another matter :o
And my cars...

I'm not emotionally attached to my unicycle. Not really. I didn't cry
over it when I busted the rim, but it's my vehicle into the world of
unicycling. And I love that world. Can't love the world but not love
the vehicle that brings you there. So, basically, I love it's use, and
therefor it. Get it? :P

Sounds much better than the "rifle" version. In fact, a shortened
version of that would make a great T-shirt!

If the sun is shinning I want to be riding.

If I'm not riding, seems like I'm often changing bearings, cranks, or
rebuilding the wheel. Now I'm gonna have to build the wheel again,
twice.

Same for me.

I'm on the fence for deciding which one I love more. I only have one
unicycle right now, a Torker CX 24", and it is my baby. It seems kinda
silly, but I once let my friend borrow it for a day before he got his,
and when I was going to sleep that night, I was worrying about all
sorts of these far fetched things that could happen to it. I even felt
an amazing sense of glee when I saw it again the next day...made me
happy.

But I also get a thrill every time I hop on it, every time I finish off
a quick burst of fast-as-hell pedaling, every time I drop, every time I
hop, every time I try to idle, etc. etc. etc. I just love both too much
to decide.

My unicycle never gets mad at me.
My unicycle doesn't argue with me.
My unicycle doesn't get upset if I don't spend enough time with it.
My unicycle doesn't break down or wear out unless I do ride it.
My unicycle doesn't get sick or die of old age.
My unicycle never gets PMS.

My unicycle is not a dog; it doesn't love me back. But that's okay

Before Kris Holm I swear this creed:

have one right now...my first one..and im never gonna sell it or give
