OK, so there is this little punk kid that lives on my street, and every time I pass him on my uni, he says in, “That must really SUCK when you get a flat tire.” It REALLY pisses me off, but I don’t know what to say to him, so I just ignore it. Any suggestions?
Get an mp3 player.
Calmly point out to him that when a unicyclist gets a flat tire it actually doesn’t suck anymore than when a bicyclist gets one since in both cases, as with a single flat tire on a 4 wheeled vehicle, the vehicle is disabled until the flat is fixed. Add that while he may have thought his comment was humorous, given the actual facts, it was merely his own ignorance and lack of insight that made it seem so.
Or just continue to ignore him.
I think I’ll go with that. He is probably too ignorant to care, but I’ll try. Thanks.
I think I would rather a punture on my unicycle than on my bike. Unicycles are considrable smaller and lighter and can easily be carried for miles.
Please report back your results.
How old is this punk?
plus you’d probably be going slower when it punctured.
He’s probably about 12.
Kick his ass, he won’t mess with you anymore.
Just so you know, I rarely see him (maybe once every month or two), but when I do see him, he’s usually with his other punk friend, so I don’t want to try and take both of them on at the same time. I don’t have any fighting skills anyway.
You could just say, “yes, yes it does”
“Of course it does!! Dumbass!”
…Okay, well I dont see how that is in any way shape or form an insult. Why does it make you so mad, Hes just a little kid. It doesnt mean anything, “that must really suck when you get a flat”? So what, just ignore him.
I think it’s just his voice that pisses me off. Maybe I’ll just do what koebwil said and use an mp3 player while I’m riding. 
Sure if you wanna get hit by a car. 
…But no seriously, use earbuds and leave one in and one out. Trust me.
Just agree. Why is everyone suggesting avoiding him or being violent? He’s just stating a fact.
Call the SD Uni guys. They can come over give this kid a nice tune up. You just have to hold one of them down while they give him the world’s worst titty twister. Please post the video when you are guys are done.
HAHAHAHA, NO, I’m not going to be violent about it, although that did sound funny. Are you a member of SDuni?
I’ve only ridden with Jake, Naomi, her son Zeke, once a couple weeks ago, and briefly met Jerry and his wife at the beach. They seem like nice folks, but ride way too early on the weekends for me.
