This evening, I changed the cranks on my MUni back to 150's as per
Scott's suggestion and headed out to do a quick 4 mile loop around the
neighborhood. BTW, the 150's felt very comfortable after riding the 150
equippped Coker so much lately.
Anyway, I was riding down a small hill about 1/2 mile from the house
on my return trip when a big landscaping company truck came around me
and abruptly turned onto the next street. The driver jumped out of the
truck and called for me to come back.
As I rode up to him, I just had to say it! "You used to ride
unicycles, didn't you?" He quickly responded with a yes and asked if I
would let him give it try. He freemounted, wobbled a few feet and asked
if I had a few minutes, he'd like to try a few more times. We talked as
he practiced and I learned that he last rode about 14 years ago on a
regular basis. After about 5 minutes, he was riding up and down the
street, riding backwards and idling a little, wanting to know where he
could buy a unicycle locally.
As I told my wife about my experience, she informed me that my new
acquaintence is also my next door neighbor's yardman!! I guess I'll
have to convince him to take a little time off and go riding with us
locals 😄 😄
