Ah well, at least you managed to spell my name correctly this time.

Roger

It was probably somebody training for a race or something, and didn't
want to slow down and ruin their time. Or else it was just somebody
rude :p

Roger (Davies, UDC) is from that area, but I would think if it was him
he would have been more friendly - or even stopped and tried to sell
you something 😉 - and anyway, Roger's a bit older than your suspect...
but then again he's so fit he could easily be mistaken for a younger
bloke 😄

EDIT: Actually forget all that, I just realised you said Stockport, not
Stockton :o Muppet!

I often just dont listen to anything people say at me anymore while
riding and continue on with out giving it the light of day. This is
mostly from 99% of stuff yelled at me is negitive or just stupid.

Hopefully no one has yelled something like, Can i give you $5 that is
so awesome.

Actually the only time I will pay any attention to groups yelling
things at me is when there are a handful of atractive girls doing the
yelling. I dont know why but stoping for thoes groups you end up with
one or two phone numbers before you can catch your breath.

Another thing that might have happened is if he had headphones on,
perhaps he didnt hear you at all.

Hopefully the mistery rider will show up here and claim his fame.

Sounds like a pot in a glass house throwing stones and shouting "Oi!
Kettle! You're black!" to me.

I've never seen another unicyclist I don't know when we were both
riding - plenty of people on foot saying they can ride one, and once
someone I knew also commuting. The last one is despite my commute and
Joe's now (occasionally) overlapping, and going in the opposite
direction.

Never argue with an idiot; they drag you down to their level and then
beat you with experience.

I've only just read this thread.

(I've spent most of my time arguing pointlessly about god in JC for the
last couple of weeks.)

A great write up, and I was chuckling along with you until the incident
with the oncoming posterior orifice.

I have never, ever, not once, just happened to meet another unicyclist
during a ride. It would be the highlight of my day. I would stop,
chat, network a bit.

Even on a training run (which I seldom do these days) I think I'd have
been tempted to stop, but failing that, your comment deserved a
friendly reply even if only, "Snap!" or "You don't see many of those
about, do you?"

Anyway, great write up. Get some more riding done and get the stories
posted.🙂

I think edging is one of the less well known level 4 skills.
