Most quotes I have heard are the comments people hurl at me
when I ride by them. Not all the witty or bright, just
repeating comments. Such as, "What happened to the other
half of your bike?" or "Where did you learn to do that?" I
have my standard replies, "Don't need the other half" and
"Here in Toronto".

I think more fun that the quotes are the double takes people
do when you come rolling down the street. You know the kind
of stares that keep you from looking - when you should be
looking. I have caused traffic accidents because people have
been watching me ride instead of watching traffic and the
traffic lights.

Am I mean to start laughing the moment they stop watching
me? Ka-thunk!

The beauty of riding a unicycle is that the rider becomes
one with the wheel. It is a delicate ballet that is like
skating and flying and you are always on the edge of failure
as you ride the line of success. Whether tis nobler in the
minds of men to mount their unicycles standing or running,
to take arms against a sea of asphalt and gravity, and by
opposing, end them. That is the question.

But the more important question is are unicycles also
considered "wheelchairs" or are they "wheelseats".

I am the gas, the steering and the brakes because I am a

James, are you saying Unicyclists are mostly fat people?

'Lauren' (unicyclist.comaajOpen ↗), do
you want quotes about Unicyclists by Unicyclists, or quotes
by non-Unicyclists about Unicyclists, or both? I like the
quote on the Unicycle.co.nz 'T-shirt'
(unicycle.co.nzTShirtNZ.jpgOpen ↗) that I
got, which says- "No Gears, No Brakes, No Handle-bars... No
Problem". That's a cool quote on your 'T-shirt'
(tinyurl.com2pq47Open ↗) too, "MUni Militia, One wheel
death squad".

I like the quote that's currently my sig. In case I change
it, it reads: "there ain't enough body armor in the country
for me to try that" I saw it on a mountain bike forum. It
was said by a mountain biker about MUni.

I like this one from The Simpsons, makes me want to try out my son's
guitar:

"If something is to hard to do, then its not worth doing.
You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your
shortwave radio, your karate outfit and your unicycle and
well go inside and watch TV. --"Homer Simpson

Some was using it as their sig line for awhile.

Hey,

Lauren is my girlfriend, and "lozza" is not Lauren... just
to clear things up...

Anyway, a good quote is:

"It's not an act, it's a sport" Kris said that one, and I
think it's sweet. I'm going to put it on a shirt.

My response to "where's the other wheel" and all its
variations is an incredulous "You mean ride two wheels at
the same time? Man, I'm not that good!"

To the people who watched me learn and say to me, "Man,
you've really improved," I respond, "Yeah, improving was my
secret plan all along."

Usually when I get a "where's your other wheel" remark from
someone on a bicycle, I reply with "I don't need a training
wheel, why don't you get rid of your's"

That's going at the end of my revised video. Look out for it
in a couple weeks, or maybe even less.... I'll inform you
all when I complete it.

Also... "quote" is a verb. "Quotation" is the noun. 😉

That was beautiful!!!

My favorite response to the "Where's the other half of your

"My doctor told me to lose 15 pounds, fast! So I threw away
half my bike!"

Did I make that up or steal it from someone, I don't

"I bet that I could ride that because I ride a scooter.
They're equally hard. Your unicycle is harder because you
have a bigger wheel to worry about, but I have to worry
about two wheels, even though they're kinda small."

"I keep falling forward because there's no handlebars
to stop me"
