I rode my coker to school today. Absolute carnage! I could see whole
classes of kids staring as I pushed it passed. My maths teacher
beckoned me over and made me demonstrate to one of her younger groups
and the number of times I had "Can you actually ride that" and had
little kids ask me to demonstrate, in the end I just lost count. At one
point I had to tip the uni sideways to stop one **** of a kid trying to
ride it. Normally I'd be fine with people trying but this kid was small
and his feet wouldnt have even reached the pedals. Next time I'll just
leave it chained up in the common room.

Oh and a "Get a real job you hippy" yelled by a friend of mine out a
window.

i sometimes use the 36er to take my little sister to school. i just
put a helmet on her, throw her on my back, and off we go. the little
kids do tend to go nuts but i just try to ignore them.

Today I was Cokering home from work. I passed by a lady who was on the
sidewalk, walking her two dogs. She said, to the dogs, "quick, look, a
unicyclist."

Today I to cross our nearby 4-lane thoroughfare on my Radial 36er. It's
fairly busy and I'd waited for a break in traffic then crossed over in
a big sweeping curve.

Got some good ones today! I went to ride down Mt. Major in New
Hampshire today, and during the hike up a guy coming down said "That's
pretty bad-a$$!" There were some other hikers at the summit who looked
a little amused/not believing I'd actually do it. Two women who passed
us on the way down (a friend was videoing me, so we stopped a lot) said
everyone at the summit couldn't believe I was going to ride down ;)
Another hiker closer to the base said "You Rule!" Man I felt good
today :D A random hiker at the bottom got his wife to take a photo of
him and I together, 'cause he said his friends would never believe him
otherwise ;)

A good day :)

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.

A triple play (three positive remarks from people).

I took a break at work and did some laps around a parking lot. One kid
yelled "that's cool!" as I rode past. Another kid said "sweet!" And
as I rode past an adult couple the guy said "you rock!"

(incidentally I encountered several moving vehicles and none of them
crashed or veered off course):)

Some kid, maybe 12 years old, with a loud annoying voice yelled from far
away "HAHAHAHA I hope you fall loser!" Another kid, about 7 years old,
yelled at almost exactly the same time "I like your bike." The younger
kid was also far away from me, but in the opposite direction so I don't
think they heard each other. Neither comment is noteworthy by itself,
but it was amusing to hear such opposite reactions at the same time.

Thankyou, that gave me a good laugh. Did the dogs respond? imagine the
chatter around the dinner table that evening?

that reminds me of something that happened in july.
I was riding in the woods with my 29er and a Big Hairy Dog provoked an
U.P.D.
I was baffled because the dog was not aggressive...
owner: "well he remembers you! last time you met you scratched his
belly! so now he spotted you and wants you to scratch his belly again!"
... and in fact the dog was on his back waiting for Bear to perform his
duties:p

wow. you have yourself a fan. i must say, your belly patting technique
must be something else!

I walked my dog once whilst unicycling but i think he has purposely
erased it from his memory

Ooh, this thread is on the second page! Well, one time, I was
practicing, here, when, about four houses away, these kids yell "One
wheel, huh?"

owwww! my foot/ankle hurts. i went out riding around my neighborhood
(note that my foot stills hurts to hop on. of you don know the story,
just know if there is any pressure on my foot it puts me in
excrutiating pain) and these five 10 year olds had a jump set up. so
they are like " go off of it go off of it!!!" and of course, this being
a plastic POS walmart ramp, i didnt want to go off of it. but then they
started saying stuff about how gey unicycles are and stuff, so i
decided i was gonna go off of it, so....i get a fast start, go to the
top, and BAM! topples over and i fall extremely hard with my unicycle
landing RIGHT on my foot OWWW *&^(*&(*&^!!! so they all start laughing
and making fun of me, then their leader, a kid namd Connor goes for a
sharp turn on his bike and ate the pavement, HARD, he trys to get up
and walk home, but hes tangled up in his bike, now regularrly i would
have hepled sumone in this kind of situation, but he was still calling
me a ****** WHILE he was crying, so i just left, and 10 minutes later i
come back...he's still there, his friends left him and no doubt HE WAS
STILL MAKING FUN OF ME! so i just left and came inside

Actually I generally find dogs don't like my unicycles. When I was
standing with a 20", a guy walking his dog came past me. The dog
looked at me suspiciously and then followed his owner. Later on the
dog looked back and just stood still, staring at me with a worried
expression on its face. It was in my way, so I had to dismount - then
it trotted away.

Further on round the trail, it was still giving anxious glances behind
at me - finally, from a hidden vantage point behind a hedge, it could
still be seen to be looking over its shoulder from half way across the
next field. Think I freaked it out.

A few days later, riding a new 29er, a couple of tiny dogs passed -
when I drew level one let out a really vicious angry-sounding growl.
It was hilarious, but slightly surprising. I guess they're just
freaked out by seeing something vaguely human-like but moving in the
wrong way.

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!
