    While getting ready for my ride today I had my muni in the
    back of my station wagon with the hatch open. As I was
    filling my waterbladder at the hose a gentleman in running
    gear walked by and saw my uni. He walked past and then came
    back and asked "is that a bike with one wheel? I suppose
    it's not a bike then is it

    Nice one. It's hard to know what to say when that happens.

    I had a comment come up the other day. I was on a trail,
    honking up the hill at my usual snail's pace when an old
    gentleman hiker came around a turn and said "Well, you don't
    see that everyday!" I managed to blurt out "Well, actually,
    I do!". One of my finest come-back moments.

    My least favorite is "you are missing your other wheel." If
    you can't be original, why bother commenting. I feel like
    saying "Damn, that's the first time I've heard that!" but I
    don't. Instead I usually say if they are walking "you are
    missing both." or on a bike "I don't need the training wheel
    any more."

    best one ever- I was practicing in the park one day and this
    one kid says to me "hey, do a wheelie" and before I can even
    reply, his friend, standing next to him smacks him on the
    back of the head and says "he already IS, stupid."

    Are you SURE the comma was there?:p

    A few weeks ago, i was on the Coker and went past a gang of
    lads. I diverted and rode down a short steep hill, across
    some rough ground, and most of the way up the next hill.

    A couple of weeks after that, I went past the same gang,
    and rode down the short hill towars them. Then we had
    this exchange:

    "Ride up that hill." "Not likely." "Go on, ride up the
    hill." "Do I look stupid?" "You did last time."

    Hmmmm. :o 😕

    I think you can be fairly sure that that was lost on its
    originator.
