unicycle = chick magnet

Accordnsx · 2004-04-02T11:55:23+00:00

i would like to bring up the point again that unicycle = chick magnet. I was in downtown Orlando last night riding with my brother and his friend Joey, both on P2s. I recieved very minimal negative comments while riding due to the fact that I was with two trials guys on bikes. We covered a good amount of distance during the evening and had a blast. A good portion of our ride was near Orange Av. and Church St., where the majority of the clubs are located downtown. I stopped outside of one place to talk to a bartender named Jessica who worked at a bar that I use to frequent. At that point we were walking the bikes and uni due to foot traffic. She wanted to see me ride it so I busted out a few moes... when I finished a guy approached me and asked if he could have a go. He said that he made a bet with his friend that he could ride it. I let the guy have a shot, and he wobbled for around 20-30 feet. Turns out the guy was the owner of a popular bar there in Orlando. He put us on the guest list with VIP and free drinks for the evening. We rode back to the car, threw the rides in and headed to the bar. On the way into the club my brother and I stopped and got Jessica's number so we could set up a date with her and her twin sister. Awesome night riding, VIP and free drinks, plus setup a date with twins. -btw it was 80s night. That means they were playing some MJ jagur.

i would like to bring up the point again that unicycle =
chick magnet. I was in downtown Orlando last night riding
with my brother and his friend Joey, both on P2s. I recieved
very minimal negative comments while riding due to the fact
that I was with two trials guys on bikes. We covered a good

where the majority of the clubs are located downtown. I
stopped outside of one place to talk to a bartender named
Jessica who worked at a bar that I use to frequent. At that
point we were walking the bikes and uni due to foot traffic.
She wanted to see me ride it so I busted out a few moes...
when I finished a guy approached me and asked if he could
have a go. He said that he made a bet with his friend that
he could ride it. I let the guy have a shot, and he wobbled

I disagree about a Unicycle being a chick magnet. I have
ridden for over seven years and girls don't flock to me.
It's whoever is riding, not the unicycle itself. Some guys
are chick magnets, some aren't. I'd say unicycles are people
magnets though, because it starts conversations with all
sorts of people, young and old, male and female.

At the other end of the spectrum I find that those guys who
might normally try to charm me with some atrocious pick up
line or other become verbally impotent, and at a total loss
for words, when I ride rather than walk past them. Many of
them of course appear more intelligent in this state, open
mouthed but silent. A few want a go, and invariably measure
their length on the pavement. I find unicycling acts as an
efficient idiot filter, and saves me much time in weeding
out chaff.

unicycle = chick magnet????? Nope: I fall off far too often

I have to agree with Accord here.....Girls flock to me when
I'm on my unicycle, Maybe I'm already slightly a chick
magnet on my own, but the unicycle is like an amplifier or
something.

Yeah, unicycles are definite people magnets. I' ve actually
made some good friends from that. But I definetly agree, if
you're on a roll that day and you can bust out some sick
tricks, girls will totally go for that.

I dont know about 'chick magnet' but people magnet, yes!
We (me and my dad) get talking to loads of people.
My dad is the worst, he stops and talks to women on
their own (walking dogs, with pushchair etc) LOL its
funny at times.
I would like unicycling to be a chick magnet, but usually
the 'chicks' are with skaters, which is sometimes good, as
we get talking about different tricks and stuff 🙂

I'd certainly agree. When riding my muni either through town or on
public cycle paths I've had spontanious favourable comments from several
attractive females (admitedly guys comment too, but they don't really
count) 😉 . Simply speaking, I've never had a pretty girl turn her head
and say "wow!" when I've *walked* past. 😄 Unis are great!
By the way, has anyone out there started a long term
relationship due primarily to unicycling?

I totally agree with the concept that unicycles are
chick/people magnets, but sometimes it does work the other
way. Last summer i had been spending a lot of time with a
girl who had been in my algebra class, she lived about 15
minutes walking distance from my house. Her father (who was
quite overprotective and already weary of letting his little
girl spend time with me) really didn't take it to well when
i peddled up to their front door on my uni with blue hair
one day... to make everything simple lets just say that
after that day i made much fewer trips to her house...

i think that being the "unicycle guy" has definitely helped
me with the ladies. I have two pickup lines. One is, "What's
your favorite color?" "mine too! Let's make out." This
rarely works but my second line, "I'm the unicycle guy,"
always works. Girls always reply with lines like "REALLY? I
saw you....." or "My roomate saw you...." And even the
occasional "No way, don't lie."

Being a young stud, like Adam, probably has more to do with
it than the unicycle. Being an old geezer, like me, the

You've given this post a nice balance! Being a guy (in the
"old geezer" department as Harper would say) I should side
with the guys, but you get the prize for best response in
this thread!
How is it that a girl smiling at you can have such an impact
on a guy? Keep smiling girls, we love it and need it!
