Has anybody given up b*king?

I gave up riding bikes shortly after getting on the internet and
discovering that you can do more than just ride around in circles on a
unicycle. I used to ride around on bikes for fun, now I ride around on
unicycles whenever I go outside. All of my bicycles have rusted and
all of my bike ramps have since rotten away.

I figure I'll get a new bike for when I'm in college next year, though,
because driving around a car and searching for parking spots is way too
much work and I'd rather ride a bike long distance than a unicycle.

Why give up something just because you are doing something else?

I'm doing far more biking now than I was before unicycling. And far
more biking than unicycling, but it does go in cycles :p There are
times when I don't ride the bike for months and others when the
unicycles gather dust.

I stripped my bike for bc parts and tires and stuff. I hadn't ridden the
thing in about 6 months before I did so and now I couldn't if I wanted
to.

I traveled to a city about a 4 1/2 hour drive from my home to visit my
grandparents. That's where I got my first uni. I got back to discover
that my bike had been stolen during the weekend. So I've made the
switch almost 100% since day one, but I still love bikes. Kinda a
forced retirment from biking, but I don't really mind that much.

somewhere fast, but the tyres have been flat on my bike for the last
one and a half months. you just can't beat a bike for speed

Quite the opposite... before unicycling I only used a bike for getting
from A to B; unicycling has got me into mountain biking in a big way,
so much so that I ride bikes more than unicycles now. Unicycling is
excellent fun but a bike is more versatile and can go further.

Exactly the same thing here. I use my unis for having fun and excersize
(I guess) and my bike for more utilitarian things, like getting around!
I also mountain bike. Unicycling has made me a better biker in general.
Unicycling works on many things, such as leg strength, core strength
and horizontal/vertical balance. These things help out with lots of
other sports, too!

If I can, I unicycle everwhere.

The only times I bike are when I'm going somewhere with other
bicyclists.

Yes i admit to the switch. I had a bike about 2 months ago and i rode it
down to the shop to get some stuff, forgot about it and walked home.
That was the last i saw of it. Now if i had just rode my uni i would
never have forgotten it and now i would have a bike and be able to then
i could but if i wanted... but i dont like to dwell on the matter.
Unicycling prove's to be funner anywho.

i have a bike but i haven't used it in like a year. i was always too
afraid to try to do jumps and go off ramps and stuff on my bike so i
would only ride it into town once in a while. now i'm really into
trials unicycling (i'm about to buy a trials uni ... yeah!!!) so i can
do jumps and stuff. i also use my unicycle to ride into town -- it's so
much more fun and worth the extra time.

Had a little bike until the age of about 12, never owned another one
since.

In reality I could buy a new bike tomorrow, but it would take up a lot
of space in this small house of mine. If I wanted to take it to the
trails I'd have to muck about with roof racks and things to attach the
bike to my car.

There are many many times when I see someone riding a bike on the road
and say to myself "I wish I had one", for the purposes of going from A
to B on the roads. I could use it to get to work and to go to the
shops, but all those endless stories about bikes being stolen frightens
me.

But on the other hand, if I chose to ride in town using two wheels
instead of one, I can ride along knowing that I'm not going to get
stared at, or harrassed, or anyone wanting to come over to talk to me.
I can just ride and keep myself to myself, being seen as normal.

Generally when my friends are outside going for a bike ride or some
similar, I take my 10$ 12 (now 6) speed girls' road bike (older than I
am, with many original parts :eek: ), but hopefully I'll be cruisin' on
a coker soon enough so I won't need to bother with that thing anymore.

Bikes are cheaper, faster, more ubiquitous, make more sense, and a
whole pile of other benefits, but I still ride unicycles. Why? Because
I can.

I like being stared at and harassed. It's part of the adventure and
allure I see in unicycling. I feel bad when I ride bikes. The whole
time I'm thinking about how much cooler my unicycles are, even if they
are extremely impractical.
