Quote of the day (from non-riders)



Bystander: Where’s your other wheel?
Unicyclist: I got rid of it and I’ve upped my coordination and wit, so
up yours.> PUni rider

Single wheel cyclists
haven’t a handle bar
to lay their hands.
Ornithologically
wave them ‘round wildly;
the spastic bird frenzy
balance demands.

one time when I was the harry potter book “party” at a local book store
(even though I'm not a huge fan...story for another time) I was riding
my unicycle when some guy said "Now I've seen every thing!" Which is
kinda sad if you think about after seeing a unicycle you've seen every
thing to be seen...

The lady who about 6 months ago said "You still riding that fool thing?"
has become more congenial. Last night she walked by while I was
practicing hopping and idling. She remarked, "Nice day for walk, er a
bike ride, uh..... , or what ever you call that."

Another soul turned to the wheel!

Then she remarked on how hard that looks, and that she gets tired just
seeing me do that.

I was speaking to a coworker in the hall just now about my rekindled
interest in unicycliing, and he observed, "When on a bike, you have to
make corrections in only one dimension to maintain balance, left and
right. On a unicycle, you have to account for 360 degrees. It's like
YOU are the gyroscope."

Most people point out only four directions of control, left, right,
forward and back, and I guess after you actually learn to ride, your
brain automatically merges forward-back and left-right corrections into
360 degrees of control.

I thought he was quite clever with his comments...

Man, last night was wierd.

A 14-15 year old girl was walking with some friends and said, I kid you
not ...

"Wow. Look. A unicorn."

I was speechless, didn't have a reponse, I just kept riding. I might
have expected something like that from a 4-6 year old, but a her age??

I was driving my car in town yesterday. I was getting out to go to the
store. what I needed to bring in was (in the back of the station wagon)
under a coker, a muni, and 2 freestyles.

As I was pulling the unicycles out and putting them onto the grass, a
girl from the club and her dad came by riding on their bikes.

That's a weird coincidence! I said.

Not really, said the father, you're always pulling unicycles out of that
thing.

my mom sponsors a girl affected by the cherynobyl meltdown (she has a
special attachment as we lived in Romania at the time, which is pretty
close)

one person in their neighbourhood has a DVD player. By chance, the copy
of TWNR we sent over was able to play on it.


HE IS VERY BRAVE TO ACT SUCH SPORT

jayne's copy of TWNR may just have motivated her 4y/o to get serious
with her 16" again
apparantly seeing another little girl riding was all she needed
i'll keep u posted

i get loads of different comments but i cant remember what they all are
probably because they are all the same ****. but there is one old granny
that always says "thats very clever". and a builder yesterday said
"could you push a wheel barrow riding that, cuz' then you could push me
and i wouldn't have to walk?" i thought that at least it was original
but still ****
