Dear Coker Riding Coffee Drinking Commuter

lpounds · 2008-04-13T23:00:50+00:00

....who are you? I saw you commuting to work 6 years ago in my home town of Barrie, Ontario Canada. You were drinking a coffee and idling at a stop light (aged 25+). You are part of my original inspiration for getting on one wheel. Given the nature of the sport, chances are you are a member or at least a creeper on these forums. -- lpounds 'Levi' (http://tinyurl.com/6l5fmr) 'Photos' (http://www.flickr.com/photos/25192939@N06/) 'Unicycle' (P7MiIYTE5Yo) 'Juggle' (7-q-VOaDB7M) 'EGG' (3y-Zwr3-i4k) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lpounds's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15958 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69182 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I was certain this thread was for me. Good way to get my attention.
I'm glad there are other Coker riders out there not afraid to mix
riding and coffee. Keep the java mojo going.

I had a very similar inspirational moment about 5 years ago that made me
want to unicycle. I saw a guy on a unicycle crossing the road in the
city centre of my city while I went past in a car. That was a great
moment.

i never really saw anyone on unicycles, except at the circus and on tv,
but thinking about it im sure i saw someone in ypress in belgium when i
was on a school trip to see the menim gate and some of the ww1 trenches
about 1 1/2 years ago. im sure i saw someone on a unicycle with a bunch
of peope on bikes, but i cannnot remember for ceritan and never really
played attention.

And just think we may all one day, or already have been, one of these
inspirations for prospective riders.

Bondo, it sounds like you have more influence than all of us- via your
radio transmissions. What station do you work for?

I do a morning show on KCMV 106.3 FM in Grand, Summit, Eagle and Routt
Counties. Largest station in the Colorado Mountains.
I talk about unicycling a bit on the air...espcially after Moab this
year...everyone heard about it!
In the summers I can ride to work (4 miles) but it's awful early to
commute (I'm on air by 6AM)
Hopefully I can find some Muni riders here in my town, I know there are
a couple of guys...
