  1. Dudes (and Dudettes), I was driving down Rideau Street in Ottawa last
    night, about 11:00, maybe a half kilometer from the Rideau Centre, and I
    saw a unicyclist! Don't know who you were, but it was nice to know I'm
    not the only one (my muni was in the trunk 😉) It just made my day!
    I've been here for 4 days, and knwoing the number of uni'ists here in
    Ottawa I've been looking like crazy 🙂

    Never kick a unicyclist in the groin... it will only make them grow
    stronger...

  2. Hey, evil-Nick

    It was me. On most nites that it's nice out i'm out around town. How
    far from Ottawa is Lennoxville?

    There are about 15 unicyclers in Ottawa, but they are scattered around
    the city. I've never seen anyone else out. There's a
    juggling/unicycling club near Bayshore that i go to here and there,
    where around about 6 of the 15 uniers show up at any one time. The
    meetings are short and it mostly focuses on juggling, but i go once in a
    while.

    Let me know the next time you are in town.

  3. Had a hunch it was you, tho I don't know why... prolly 'cause you were
    the only one from Ottawa whose name I remembered 😉 I'm here in Ottawa
    just for the Ottawa Linux Symposium (if you've been in the Rideau Centre
    this week and seen lots of Geeky people with laptop bags and name badges
    around their necks, that's us 😉) Lennoxville is ~4 hours away, on the
    other side of Montreal by about an hour and half (depending on driving
    speed and traffic.) I've actually been staying with my girlfriend's mom
    near Gatineau/Hull (connections are everything), so I'm not actually in
    Ottawa much aside from the conference. I tend to come out here maybe 3
    times a year or so, so maybe we can get together sometime and ride... I
    would be around tomorrow, but alas, I need to find a garage (if you
    saw/heard a white Civic that sounded like a Harley wannabe, that was me
    and my former exhaust system 😉)
    Real shame I prolly won't be riding this week, I'm going through
    withdrawal... I've spent a total of 5 minutes riding this week :'(

  5. Heh Evil- Nick!

    My name is Carl and I manage the "Nanaimo Park Jugglers" here in Ottawa.
    You should come out to one of our jams as we have lots of uni riders.
    My sons and I have 14 unis in our garage and my kids both muni and ride
    trials. Don't get thrown off by the name of our club as we do a lot of
    unicycling and the there is always room for one more on our muni or
    trials outings!

    Check out our web site at http://carlroth.net/nanaimoparkjugglers/ .

    Hope to meet you some day.

    Cheers,

    Carl

  6. Yeah, i'm sure there are more than 15 riders. Too bad no one is ever to
    be found downtown. If there are, and you uni street, why don't you come
    out once in a while? I've never seen anybody downtown before, except
    for at the parades, and by the lame comments i get every time i'm out, i
    doubt that most of the drones downtown see other uniers either.

    Point being: If you uni street and can come downtown, do so. It gets a
    little lame congratulating yourself after landing a trick <g>. Either
    way, i'll be out.

  7. hecklar, last year a bunch of us regularly rode trials/street in and
    around the downtown area. Unfortunately this summer I've been mostly
    away from the city so I I've only made it downtown a few times. Give me
    a shout and maybe we can hook up some time. I actually won't be back in
    the city until the end of August but I look forward to riding with
    you!

    25 min outside Ottawa on the Quebec side, so I'm in the area from time
    to time... I'll give ya's a head's up next time I'm gonna be around!
