Oddest Comment Yet

A lady once saw me about to hop on this wooden-box that was built around
a trash can in a public park what I was doing. I told her about riding
trials, and how I was going to hop on this object (because I was just
starting to get onto things around 30"😉. She then proceeded to ask
"why?"

How would you explain why you would want to jump onto something with a
unicycle to an old lady who asked you what you were doing in the first
place. Twenty minutes of my discussing trials riding goes by. Still
looks puzzled. --Oh, did I mention that she up and sits down on the
thing! and tells me to let her know if I want her to move!--

She then gets up, because she was waiting for her family to get to the
top of a hill, and then they would walk together off to who knows
where. She tells me, "that's MORE AMAZING that you can ride it on FLAT
GROUND, than hopping."

Some people.

Chav: "Oi, Mister ! Can I have a go on that ?"
Me: "Yeah, of course you can."
Chav's Chavy mates while watching Chav attempt to mount a Coker having
never ridden a unicycle of any description at all: "Ha HA HAHAHAH !!!"
Chav & Chavy mates watching me rolling mount very cleanly and ride into
the distance: "That's way cool man !"

Same ride a few miles later a boy of around 8yrs old: "Hey, he's got no
handlebars !" I loved that one - not the first thing most people
observe as absent.

What is the association between BC and smoking crack?? Maybe's that why
i could never ride Rupert's (neither could he acually) We get stopped
by alot of chavs, usually if you give them the time of day and let them
have a go they turn out to be vaguely decent people. I always used to
hate chavs, but then i was a goth in my teens 😄

I got another one today. An old woman walked out of her house and I was
expecting her to watch (as most do). I was trying to crank grab onto a
box, when she says to me, "You are going to scratch that, you know that
right, I don't have money to pay for the paint that you're going to
scratch off!" She says this really angrily, kind of menacingly. I say
OK and proceed to attempt it again when she says to me,
"GET OFF!"
"Last time I checked, paint going off of water pipe covers doesn't
raise your homeowners fee."
"Well, why do you do it, is it easier to start if you are standing on a
box." I realize that this is going to be extremely difficult to
explain.
"No, it isn't easier to start, as you can see, it has no motor, there
is nothing to start."
"Well then get off!" After that I just left, thinking that she was
crazy and when she was out of sight I practiced more.

Well if paint is coming off, then technically what you're doing is
vandalism, whether that is your intent or not, and her concern is
legitimate. So rather than trying to argue with her you really should
just move along, whether it's her property that you're destroying or
not.

I just love saying that. I stole it. It's mine now. But what you are

Alternatively, here's a delightful example of a group (there's an
excellent plural noun oppurtunity here...answers on a postcard ) of
chavs (or scallies as we call them up oop narth).
Pay particular attention to the first photograph where distinguishing
features are particularly noticeable. The baseball cap/suit combo on
the younger specimen, the mothers' inappropriately short skirt and the
stupidly small handbag.

I had a little kid today who obviously had not yet seen a unicycle. He
looked at me as I rode past and with a confused look, said simply,
"what happened?". I thought that was hilarious! I just said my bike
broke in half!
