Not allowed on the boat!

MuniAddict · 2006-12-05T23:01:10+00:00

While trying to schedule a trip to catalina tomorrow to ride the trails there, "Catalina Express", the boat that takes you there, says that while ANY TYPE of two-wheeled Bikes are allowed on the boat, unicyclels are NOT!!!!:eek: I asked why and so now they've agreed to "talk to their supervisors" about it and get back to me asap. That seems to be the most rediculous, arbitrary Bulls##T I've heard in a long time! Btw, I called Catalina and they have no problem with unicycles on the island. -- MuniAddict "There is an -idea-, of a Patrick Bateman" "They all float down here" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/55437

maybe they didn't want all the bikers to get jealous of you for only
riding one wheel.

Don't expect them to talk to their supervisors, call them up and if they
refuse to let you take the uni, demand to talk to their
supervisor/manager or whatever. If they don't let you, ask again. If
they hang up, call back.
Don't take no for an answer on this one. Fight it!

Take two unicycles and chain them together, making a very flimsy bike.

They just called me back and said it's ok! The only thing is, is that
bike or unis aren't allowed on the trails....only hikers! But that's
cool, we can still ride all around the island and find plenty of street
stuff to hop around on!😄

Something tells me that the signs are only going to say no bikes
allowed. 😉

There's plenty of bike-legal dirt roads you should be able to ride on.
Though we didn't try to explore the whole island, my brother-in-law and
nephew took our rental bikes up a mountain road that probably gets
visited by very few tourists:
http://unicycling.smugmug.com/gallery/1338898/8/63151075
I imagine the singletrack is what's off limits. That's where I would
like to ride as well, but if we flaunt the rules, the ferry company
will eventually return to their old policy of discrimination! 🙂
Though a unicycle is not a bicycle, my policy is one of following the
rules for bicycles except in rare cases where it doesn't make sense. If
we act as bicycles, we should be protected by the same rules and laws
that they are. If we try to carve our own niche, we'll have to
establish the right to ride in all sorts of places.

Is it http://www.catalinaexpress.com/? 'Here is their baggage policy'
(http://tinyurl.com/up3uw).
Says luggage is included but Bikes, Surfboards, etc. are extra charge
on a space available basis. I'm a fan of the 'Samsonite (American
Tourister) 35\" Wheeled Duffels' (http://tinyurl.com/yfemhj). You can
fit a 24" Muni or any Trials if you pull the pedals. Probably too late
for today but in the future bring the uni as checked luggage. Don't
forget the pedal wrench.
