I unicycled in the St Patrick's day parade in Claremorris, Co Mayo,
Ireland today (was on 6 oclock irish news). Lots of "you're a clown",
"ha ha ha fall off!", "where's your other wheel" etc etc... It was
good fun.
After the parade a guy asked to try my Uni, he rode it easily, he came
back 5mins later with his own uni that he had built himself. It had a
small bicycle saddle but generally looked like a bought uni. I got the
impression that he hadn't seen too many other unicyclists before

i was messing around on a sidewalk and curbs and stuff and this guy with
nothing else to do came outside and told me not to ride in front of his
store.... about 20 times. ( i stopped the first time) when he was
finally done telling me to stop, i said id go but suggested it might
attract some customers.

"You can't ride that on mall property."


Considering that I was simply riding my 29er through the parking lot as
a shortcut to the grocery store I was quite peeved.

Plus the mall rent-a-cop had driven up behind me and honked his horn,
thus scaring me and making me fall, so I was both angry and
embarrassed. Bah.

a few days ago I was riding along the road and 2 kids in soccer jerseys
(one was carrying a soccer ball) stopped in their tracks when the
spotted me riding by them. one said:
(and I quote)
"Hey, can you play soccer while riding that thing?":D
I said nothing but I imagined that their comment must have had
something to do with the fact that usually, while playing soccer,
soccer players don't use their hands or their arms, and when they saw
me riding by them with jno hands or arms being used in MY sport, they
must have felt a sort of comradery with me, because when you think
about it, the non-use of hands and arms is what we unicyclists have in
common with soccer players.
when you think about it, it is probebly impossible to play soccer while
riding the unicycle, playing Hockey, YES, but in soccer, you need to
kick the ball and in unicycling, your feet always need to be on the
pedals. im sure some of the more advanced unicyclists out there have
been able to kick a ball while riding a unicycle, but I imagine it is
hard

or it was just that the soccer players were absolute soccer fanatics
and all they thought about was soccer, so they had to ask u a question
which involved soccer!!

i dont believe u would get many ppl thinking that deeply wen they r
going to ask a question! ahaha

the deepest i got was a guy walking by, he stopped, thought a little
and said "ur missing handle bars" and i sed yeah and a tyre u dumbass
ahaha

I was pushing my unicycle round a supermarket yesterday, and one of
the assistants asked me if unicycles were an efficient way to travel.
"No, not at all," I replied. Before I could follow up with, "They are
fun, though," he pleasantly surprised me with, "Oh, they're just
cool, then."

Where we ride, we'd expect loads of stick, but it's quite the opposite.
People love to stop and chat, especially this old guy who was reminded
of a time years ago when he used to see a guy commuting every morning
on his, weaving in and out the traffic in Richmond.
The girls are impressed by our skills too. (We got sweet skills.)
And we also got bigged up by 4 chavs in a saxo. A strange mixture of
euphoria and embarassment.
Still, it's inevitable that one day we will encounter the 'one wheel'
remark. Bring it on :D

I ran into a guy last year at the local pub who noticed me come in with
my muni during a snow storm. He told me when he was in HS a kid
commuted everyday from North Hatley to school, which is a good 13
kilometers each way. I've no idea who it was, but assu,ing it was on a
24"... Damn! How long have cokers been around?

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

Someone yelled at me to do a 520 today... I was on my muni, so I
borrowed a sidekick's 20" and pulled a 180 unispin... That was good
enough ;)

Earlier I was riding a muni line at school, and random people would
come out of the building, see me, and generally say something like "Are
you going to try to ride down that?" (Rooty steep slope). "I'm not
going to try, I'm going to do it!" Then I would :D

Of course, a friend saw me and told me not to kill myself... I told him
I had "Mad Skilz", and then promptly skidded out on mud and slid down
the hill ;) Damn higher beings keeping me humble...
