Quote of the day (from non-riders)



I was riding around tonight and a kid maybe 11 or 12 years old is
walking with his skateboard up the hill and I go backwards and weave
through some cones on the side of the road the kid keeps looking back
at me and I ride up next to him and he asks "how long did it take to
learn to ride that?" I answered him, then he asks how long it took me
to learn to turn and I answered then he asked if I would be back there
tomorrow i told him I would and then I came home and found out that I
wouldn't and luckily he told me where he was staying for the summer so
I can go tell him that i can meet him later I think I may have
converted a Skater.

Well, one time I got an "It takes a lot of practice to ride that thing,
right?" to which I answered, "Yes." It was the most normal comment
yet.People around here seem to refer to it as a "thing." Another time,
I was at a walk to support autism(puertorrican Walk Far for NAAR), and
a lady smiled at me and said "I can't even get on that thing!" I think
she mentioned something about her kid riding, but I never saw
him.Another time, the day when I learned, a kid and his mother were
like, WHOA!Turns out the kid had one but couldn't ride it...or
something like that.Then, another time, I was at that same skatepark
and there was a BMXer and a few skateboarders(one of them was my
sister's boyfriend, who is REALLY extreme, but can't even get on the
uni, I'll call him "skater" right here, he knew the term unicycle, of
course) and they were talking.
BMXer:WHOA!She sure rides that bike well!
skater:Yeah!
BMXer:So, can you ride it?
skater:No, I can't even get on it!She's the only one that rides!
Oh, and when I first got it:
Skater:I can't believe I never thought of asking for one of those for
my birthday!
And when I learned to hop:
Skater:WHOA!
Dad:You're an EXTREME UNICYCLIST!!!
Lotsa laughs!
Oh, and when I learned to wheelwalk(a few steps only)
Dad:Whoa, that's a new one!

"Is that a Coker?" asked a gent that had pulled into a median turn
around and stopped his motorcycle. "Why yes it is." I replied. Come
to find out he's a MUni rider and he hadn't met any of the others in my
area so I filled him in on some contact info. Technically this doesn't
fit in this thread but I thought it was cool to have bumped into
another uni rider while out and about on my Coker.

somehow) came up to me and goes "why don't you go and build yourself
another unicycle". i thought it was pretty wierd so i just gave him a
mean look. and havent seen him since.

I was doing a wheelie on my bike and figured why not buy a unicycle.

This morning, I rode past a horse pasture. The horses did not say
anything but about 6 of them came over to the fence and watched me ride
by.

This made me laugh. I'll bet it looks pretty strange to someone who
normally needs four hooves to get around. I wonder if they are
jealous. :p

"can you ride that uphill?
"How do you balance?"
"How do you steer?"
"Why are you riding that on a trail?"
"Couldn't I do the same thing on a pogo stick"?
"I tried one of those when I was a kid, but I fell off"

"Aren't you embarrased to be seen on that thing?"

whilst riding on private property a groundsman comes up to me and my
friend telling us we are not allowed to be here blah blah blah. He said
hes seen us stack and if we fall and split our skulls they could get
sued and he said something like "so you can't ride here...at least not
while i'm here". then when we leave me friend goes "i was so tempted to
ask him what time his shift finished".

While trying out my new KH 29er today at the netball courts (netball is
similar to basket ball and is the biggest girls sport here in Aus). It
was wet and I had taken the pins out of my pedals so my shoes were just
slipping off.
Older guy to a girl running really fast across the courts (timing her
i'm guessing):
"At least you're doing better than -that- guy"

Riding home from work a couple of teenaged guys passed me riding bikes
and gave me a "Whoa! You Beast!"

Also, going to the pub the other day (think I forgot to post this at
the time), I rode past the wall / fence outside the beer garden on my
36" and was sure I heard someone say something about "very tall" :) I
then hopped off, returning to my usual 5' 8"ish height and pushed the
uni in. I was greeted with "Wow! It's a giant mountain bike
unicycle!"

I get comments like that on my 29er every so often - it's very
disorienting for people to say sensible things like that ;-)

Riding home from work another day I also got "Is it hard to ride up
hills on a unicycle", which was so startingly non-inane I tried hard to
give a decent answer to the guy! Compensated somewhat for the teen who
tried to startle me earlier.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

Today in the local park (one of the best in San Antonio for MUni) an
elderly woman was part of a walking group spread out in quasi-random
patterns to pick up the trash odds and ends. It was probably something
they do as part of their walking calendar. I rode past after working
the pavilion stairs and she said, "My, you guys are getting better and
better." I thanked her and kept riding.

It felt good to get a comment that reflected on all the unicyclists
that ride at the park.

Today Matt (dudewithasock) and I went for our first ride in a while, and
as we were riding down a street, a couple stopped us and asked us
questions about the neighborhood....turns out they were moving to
Rowlett, and we were able to give some directions to some diferent
places, and tell them the nice areas and stuff....so that was
cool....we rode up to the Albertson's, and got the usual looks, and we
met a rider from a nearby town there.

And I was riding home, I stopped and showed off for a little five year
old and his mom...that was fun.
