A few weeks after I learned how to ride a unicycle I was riding on my street when a guy on a motorcycle asked me if I wanted to trade (I had a chrome torker 20inch), sadly before I could say yes he sped away. Just now I was riding home and practicing jumping up curbs when two guys on mountain bikes asked me if I wanted to race. I said yes but they would have to take their training wheel off. Generally 2 wheelers are nice to me and usually impressed just by me staying on a unicycle for 30 seconds. I was just wondering what memorable moments like these everyone has. (good bad and funny etc.)
There's a couple of bike trialsists (what's the right terminology?) that we see around quite often. They're really good. I think. I don't have any experience with bike trials, so I don't know how good 'good' is. It's fun to go trialling (I don't think that's right, either) with bikers, and try to do exactly what they do.

Well, i do all of my riding on or around the campus of UNH in New Hampshire, and there are quite a few skateboarders who ride around also. I knew a bunch of them before i started uniing, but now that i'm doing sets of steps and stuff like that, i ride with them when they're around, and it just feels normal, as odd as it may look to passers by. Also, there were some bike "trialsists" around a couple days ago, and one wanted to try my uni. I let him, and tried his bike out. I hadn't ridden a bike since i started uniing, and i found that it felt so much different than ever before, because i was so used to having my arms out to balance! -Josh
