What a gift! Quick thinking on your part though - I normally think of
what to say when I'm back home...

BTW your sig - ain't that the truth! (also true about "idiot just
about anywhere"!)

Matt and I were riding around the neighborhoods, and we came upon a
family with a bunch of kids, and they were all outside, and they called
out to us, and so of course we stopped, and showed off...we talked for
a while, and then all of a sudden one of the kids goes "I've got one of
those!" Of course, Matt and I were surprised to say the least, and
asked him to get it out. It ended up being some cheap little 12" wheel
that neither me or Matt could ride, but he could get on it. We showed
him how to practice by uising the fence and the grass, and he seemed
really into into it when we left.
hopefully, one more of us...

While muni-ing, a mountain biker was riding along side me and said, "I
guess that's almost like a mountain bike, right?" I replied: "Well,
except for the fact that I only have one wheel, no gears to help me
climb, no brakes to help me stop, no handlebars to help me steer, I
can't coast to help me rest, and I'm constantly focused on balance,
then yeah, it's basically the same!":D

Heh, actually, it's a lot more expensive than birth control. ;)

Here's a different one,

I rode around at Vassar College today. I rode pass some students, and
went around behind the building. I looped back, came to follow well
behind a guy on a bicycle who was riding 'no-hands' .

When the guy on the bike went past the students, one yelled, *"Hey,
it's a two wheeled unicycle"*.

Ha! I don't think the guy on the bike knew where that came from. His
riding 'no hands' put him into the posture of a unicyclist.

I was riding around the neighborhood yesterday on my 29er. An older
couple (older than me anyway) was walking on the sidewalk when the man
yelled to me, "I bet you can't light a cigarette while doing that."

My reply, "I probably could if I smoked'.
