    Bicycle is just a short way of saying unicycle with a training wheel.

  2. Unicycling is social if you have friends who can unicycle. If not, then
    good for you! You now have friends!

  4. Don't forget to update your profile. Currently it says:

    Interests: Unicycling is all I really do
    Occupation: Going to school, then coming home to unicycle

    It seems that is no longer accurate.

    I'm glad you quit too. Nothing worse than someone whose heart isn't in
    a thing trying to pretend it is.

    But unlike the post above, I don't recommend you update your profile.
    I'd say just delete it, and go join a "more social things" forum. There
    are lots of them. These, for instance:

    See ya.

  6. im feeling pretty burned out myself but this is a little over the top.
    if i sold all my unicycles (currently 2) it would just get spent on beer
    etc.

  7. Give up unicycling? Why? I never considered unicycling to be an activity
    one would actively quit, maybe slow down to the point where they didn't
    really do it much at all... but quit altogether? It's not like a job!

    Dear dear.

    If my interest ever did get diluted to the point of hardly ever riding
    I'd still keep a unicycle as they have played a big part in at least one
    section of my life and it'd be a nice memento. Plus you never know when
    you may need a unicycle.

    P.S You don't need money to go towards social things. You need money for
    material things. Most of my money goes on my unicycles, DVDs,
    electronics and other random [censored] etc etc and I don't think it effects
    my social life, which is pretty decent. And unicycles don't need *that*
    much putting into them if you look after them.

    It's all about money management!

    Indeed. Social things don't have to cost money. I'm really surprised
    you've quit. You seemed so keen on unicycling just weeks (or a few
    months) ago.

    frankly, george, i can't imagine actually NEEDING a unicycle
    except of course for unicycling, but since this is a post-quittal
    dscussion, pass me a cigarette
    so, please enlighten me as to those unusual moments when u 'may need' a
    unicycle...

    Yes, where could a good little boy like him go wrong? A tragic tale of

  12. Scenario A) Being held at gun point until you can produce a unicycle.

    Scenario B) At unicycle crossings

    Scenario C) Infiltrating a circus

    Need I go on?!

  13. Balance . . . My sens of it is you burned out from doing one thing:
    uniing. It's not all or nothing. Mix it up. A person can have friends
    and a social life and still uni. It's a hobby for most all of us, not
    an occupation.

  14. I am a little bummed out with unicycling right now, i still love it but
    it's hard fitting it in with work! Also i have RUN OUT of places to go
    that are fun i guess theres some natural trials on the beach but that's
    about it.Thus i LOVE unicycling but i HATE my area nothing new or
    interesting to ride.

  15. Yeah I can see where gpickett00 is comin from, i find unicycling fairly
    boring when I'm by myself... I "gave up" uniing for 10 years until I met
    other ppl who did it.

    I think that these days my main reason for "keeping on" unicycling is
    the social side of it... I'm not quite as addicted to it as I was
    "around the 3 month mark" but I think I enjoy it more now (if that makes
    any sense), keeps me fit and out of trouble. Can't wait for summer!

  17. I sometimes feel as though I'm stuck in a rut with unicycling,
    especially when I'm finding it hard to learn a trick and start getting
    somewhere and then I can't uni for a while due to work and other
    commitments so I go back to square one. Still buzz off it tho. Can't see
    myself throwing in the towel!

    ... I don't think anybody would be particularly mad about you
    quitting...! It'd be shame to see anybody leave the sport, but it's
    nothing to get mad over! Try name calling 😉 So I take it you're not
    quitting after all?

  19. Muni is the way forward. There's only so many stupid comments you can
    take just zooming around town; quite often I'd get back from a ride
    annoyed after some schmuck spoiled an otherwise good ride.

    But then... you ride some awesome trails, with fewer people about who
    are generally more appreciative, and really get back to what riding is
    all about. That leaves me beaming for days rather than fuming for
    hours.
