Agree with everything you said. And kudos to that guy for his honest answer about how he speaks to people (yes, way rude)!

I've had the same experience more than once (most recently with Mrs. johnfoss buying the tickets).

More responses to WYOW:

The other 40 (or so) are in my garage
Safe and sound in the car

I usually just give a half-hearted smile and ride off.
Sometimes:
"Budget cuts."
"Don't need a training wheel."

paxuni · 2012-07-12, 06:41 PM

"What other wheel?"

Almost any other response affirms in the mind of the person asking WYOW that there is something wrong or deficient with a unicycle. The above response may even make them rethink without being openly confrontational.

In the same vein, I prefer "This is the other wheel," which has a sort of Zen feel to it.

If I get the WYOW question from mtn b*kers I like to respond "It was too heavy". People who are weight weenies get a chuckle from it

JoeBike · 2012-07-12, 09:24 PM

When I get the "where's your other wheel comment", I usually respond "It's this damn recession".

jbtilley · 2012-07-12, 09:35 PM

As far as zen is concerned I always liked:

The world is my other wheel.

frillneck · 2012-07-13, 12:25 PM

I like "the world is my other wheel".
I sometimes say: "What! Where would I put another wheel on this thing?"
Got to say though, one of the pleasures of unicycling is the positive responses you usually get, in fact interacting with people rather than just the no eye contact city thing. It becomes intriguing what is going on in the mind of the teenager (usually) who pretends you aren't there at all, when you pass them on an empty street. Do they think I'm some giant dag, too embarrassing to acknowledge, or are they so desensitised to extreme sports that my act, just unicycling along, is completely unremarkable?

I have definitely blamed it on weight shaving.
