Quote of the day (from non-riders)



At 3am while riding in a parking lot:
Car goes by on the road. About a minute later, it turns around and
drives slowly into the parking lot. Two guys are in the car. The one on
the passenger opens his window and says in awe, "Killer unicycle!"
Then they drive off in the direction they were going.

It's not a quote.

I was riding across a parking lot today. Poor judgment left me turning
directly straight head on into the path of a car. Suddenly, there we
were bumper to wheel. We stopped without hitting inches away. That was
when time seemed to freeze.

I could see the driver glaring at me. He obviously was not happy with
my stupid maneuver, but also looked unsure of what to make of the
situation.

What surprised me was my attitude. The guilt of my rude stunt passed
quickly as I reviewed the situation. Looking down form the Nimbus 36,
the compact car looked tiny. My thoughts then were, Ha! if we had hit,
I would have done more damage to your car. The hood of the car looked
like it would be a rather soft landing.

As time thawed, I skillfully turned 90 degrees and continued on my way.
Luckily we had both been moving slow, so it was more of a surprise than
a panic situation.

I didn't leave a good impression for unicyclist today.

:D 'Nope, but picture this only slightly bigger cause there's not much
difference apart from rim/tyre and seat.'

Well, maybe not. But you weren't hurt either. Glad to hear it then.
I imagine the driver told the story to his family at dinner. I wonder
how similar/ different it was from yours. I'll bet the last thing on
his mind was what damage you could have done to the hood of his car.
:p

Got a pretty funny one yesterday. I was cruising around the lake here in
Canberra on my nimbus 36" when i came out into a clearing where a dad
and his 7 or 8 yr old son were kicking a soccer ball around. The dad
had his back to me but the son spotted me instantly and exclaimes "What
the f*ck?" The dad turns around and watches me ride by in the same sort
of amazement then about 8 seconds later he scrambles back into 'dad
mode' and says "don't swear!"

At Moab this year, I was with a group just finishing up a ride on
slickrock as we approached a young family. The father was having some
trouble with one of those all-terrain convertible bike
trailer/strollers.

As the front wheel came loose and feel off, I said to him "You lost a
wheel!"
I crack myself up sometimes.
