for me the answer is "yes".
I was riding in the woods at night in Belgium without a lamp.
no problem I had memorized the trail and my memory is good for such
things...
except some gardener had dumped excess dung on my favourite trail ... I
didn't saw it ... and Zzzzzzz... splash :eek:

Rode the Withlacoochee Trail north of Crystal River in FLA. A man on a
bike said," I thought I was crazy bringing my dog."
I'm thinking; your crazy if you leave your dog at home.:confused:

Next day; I was riding on a highway when a guy on a motorcycle coming
from the opposite direction at 40 mph stuck both hands in the air and
gave me a look like, "hey me too", "not so hard".
It made my giggle.;)

I've had that a few times with bicyclists. They see me and take their
hands off the handlebars and look kind of smug, as if to show a
unicycle is no big deal, anyone can do it.

I've never hand that thankfully. If I did I would say, "now do that on
one wheel for 20 meters".

Well, I was riding by a gold course, and a guy on a cart gave me the old
"yer missing half yer bike.." I just said "Naw... I'm saving it for
later..."

The guy and his partners got a good laugh out of it...

Yesterday afternoon, on the Malvern Hills, I'm riding past 4 women and
get the typical "wow"s and "cool"s before the last one says
"Do you ride that in a night club with a headlight on"

We I don't, so come on everyone out here, own up, who is the night club
performer???

Speaking of Sam, I was riding around a park in Swansea today when A kid
ran up to me and asked "Is that hard?"
I smiled and said yes.
And than he asked "Are you trying to break the Guinness World Record?"
I smiled and said no.

I was doing a few "grinds" on a bow thing when this BMXer suggested
trying them on a highish bench. I hopped and landed well; "perfect!". I
then wobbled off; "mabey not".

A group of about sixty primary school (about 7 year old) kids plus about
five teachers on a narrow bit of the South Downs Way. The teacher at
the head of the pack calls out "Stay to the left, there's a cyclist
coming!" as I approach.

They all filter to the left and I hear what seems like hundreds of
cries of "He's on one wheel" in the fifteen seconds it takes to me to
pass. After I've passed they're all shouting happily; seems a bit
strange to me for some reason.

But I suppose making people happy is one so called "advantage" of
riding amongst the General Public...

I was out riding yesterday and a fellow student asked me if I could do
any tricks. Of course I said yes, and (poorly) demonstrated some one
footed riding. He told me if I showed him a better trick by the end of
the year he would give me what he called a "super blunt". Yay for
meeting potheads.
