Quote of the day (from non-riders)



Riding around today. I pass an elderly gent who is sitting on a bench.
In a loud, clear voice he says "You could eat your sandwiches -and-
have a cup of tea at the same time!"
This is possibly one of the most original thing's I have heard since I
started.
I wanted to get off my uni and hug him.

Or even mow the lawn *and* drink beer. Unicycles are great for
multitasking.

I was riding today at a historic gardens preserve thingy with some
AWSOME natural trials, and these two old laddies were walking together.
I get this one all the time. One of the laddies says "You should join
the circus!". Usually im like "Im not a frickin clown!!!!!", but today
I just smiled and rode along cause I was afraid of an old lady ass
kicking.

A little kid saw me riding through a rock garden on my Muni, and started
yelling enthusiastically at me, "Go, go, go!".

A very young child asked me of my unicycle, "Is that broken"? (I've
gotten this a few times).

Old man asks me: where's your other wheel? Daughter of old man asks
me, "how many times have you heard that before"?

Riding past a grocery store I encounter an employee walking out to his
car. He appears to be in his 50s or 60s, and he says "I haven't seen
one of those in a long time." I thought of asking him if it was in a
circus but bit my tongue.

Minutes later I pass a car with a man, woman and small boy taking a
break from a long drive. Dad and boy are outside the car enjoying the
lovely springlike air. As I get close to them they say nothing, simply
watching me. As I pass by I hear the dad say to the boy, "That's
pretty cool, huh."

Five of us were riding MUni through the woods this morning when we came
across several people riding those 2-wheeled thingys. One of them (the
people, not the 2-wheeled thingy) asked several intelligent questions
regarding unicycle riding. Then, he asked us if the circus had shut
down.

I told him those were fight'n words. :mad:

He was wearing one of those brightly colored team cycling outfits. I
should have asked him were he got his clown costume. :rolleyes:

I like that:D, it's been one of my potential comebacks to a comment such
as "Doesn't that make you look silly?" but I've never yet had such a
speech to use that retaliating weapon.

It's true, isn't it? Two wheeled-riders in skin-tight multi-coloured
lycra look far more ridiculous than us one-wheelers.

when I uni my paper route, I get like 10 people asking me, "Can you ride
that thing?" Fortunately I am able to resist the urge to ask them how I
got here and if i can"t ride a unicycle, why do I have one with
me!?!?:rolleyes:

I work at a sports centre and today I cycled in on my coker. We have an
astroturf with floodlights which need turning off at the end of each
night. The light box is over on the turf (not in the main building) one
of us has to trek over to turn them off. Today it was my turn so I rode
over. When i got onto the pitch the hockey club that was using it were
just packing up so I let them be and cycled past to the box. I had lots
of laughs from the players and the leader, trying to regain attention
of the group, said "he may be able to do that but he cant play hockey".
Set my mind wandering to how they'd react to unicycle hockey.

Made me giggle.

One day I might reply with, "As well as you can walk with those things
on your feet"

or " Can you walk in those" while pointing to their shoes.
