  1. 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

  2. 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.

  4. 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."

  5. 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.
