Ok, I know there have been posts in the past, but when minding our own buisiness riding our unis, havent we all heard the commom “Hey Buddy, where is the other wheel?” Now, some people (like me this afternoon) choose to just shrug this off and say nothing. But there are also people who have GREAT comebacks to theis pestering junk we get from the commom people. The posts in the past have probably summed some comebacks up, but i would like to make another list, the biggest list yet compiled. So if you have tons of comebacks, or even just one, please respond, so next time i am minding my own buisiness i can say something clever to that annoying guy in the park. now think of comebacks, clever, dirty, stupid, i dont care, i want to see them all, and im sure other people do too!
Recent two interchanges.
Bicyclist: “You need another wheel.”
Unicyclist: " I don’t understand. I have exactly the right number of wheels for a competent cyclist."
Bicyclist: “Oh. I think I’m in my place, now.”
Bicyclist: “I think my clever thought for the day is, ‘there goes a minimalist’.”
Unicyclist: “That’s a good lead in. What’s the clever thought?”
i seem to get an abundance of “do a wheelie” remarks, not many “wheres the other wheel?”
is this a geographic relationship?
i met a guy(alone) on a tandem, we just kinda stared at each other for a while, then both of us, almost simultaniously asked:
him:“wheres your other wheel?”
me:“wheres your other rider?”
Months ago at the post office, my uni in hand.
Patron: “Hey, you’re missing a wheel.”
Me: “I don’t understand.”
Patron: “Your bike, it’s missing a wheel.”
Me: “I don’t understand. What bike?”
Patron: “The one in your hand. The one that’s short a wheel.”
Me: “I don’t understand.”
Patron: “Aw, I was just trying to be smart.”
Me: “When?”
boozer:looks like your missing some bike wheels
unicyclist:looks like your missing some brain cells.
boozer:you think your pretty smart dont you?
unicyclist:how would you know?
boozer: obnoxius bastard!
unicyclist:you started it.
Boozer:that was only a joke…
unicyclist:maybe to you,not to me goodbye.
boozer:hey you got any spare change?
unicyclist:look,i cant even afford another wheel 
My hope for the future:
Genius: “You’re missing a wheel.”
Unicyclist: “What time is it?”
Genius: “About 9:30, why?”
Unicyclist: “That’s so funny. I don’t think I’ve heard that one since 9:15.”
someone: You’re missing a wheel!
unicyclist: does it look like I am? I think you’re the only one who’s missing it.
drunk: You’re missing a wheel!
unicyclist: I think you’re too sober.
someone: you lost a wheel!
unicyclist: no, I just found one.
Where’s the other wheel?
-time off for good behaviour
-I bought this bike at a 50% off sale
-I’m missing 2, it was a tricycle
-never mind the wheel, where’s the handlebars
-visiting relatives
-at home sleeping
-in the shop being fixed
Ignoramos:" Hey, your missing a wheel!"
Uni: no, I don’t like veal.

and so on…
Situation#2
Ignoramos: Hey, your missing a wheel!
Uni: “I thought my bike felt funny!” and proceed to crash right into them…boo-yah;)

HAH! Best one I’ve read to date.
Not so much a comeback, but pre-emptive…
To a bicyclist the other day: “I see you paid the extra.”
To a bicyclist who rode past no handed: ‘You’re coming on well.’
And when I’m in a bad mood, and someone comes out with the putative absent wheel related remark… I just shout a number, typically 27. Or to clarify, I shout ‘27th today.’
(As in, ‘You’re the 27th pea brain today to make that very predictable and unamusing comment.’)
Re: comebacks
Yeah, but what to say to the bicyclist who weaves by you on the wrong side
of the road, through two red lights, scattering cars and pedestrians, with
no helmet, laughing at you derisively because he’s doing all this riding a
permanent wheelie? I was stumped when this happened and ended up just
feeling a little pissed off. Plus I think he sang the Circus song a little.
Of all places, that was in Davis, California, the most bicycle friendly city
in the country.

My pat answer is, “What, the training wheel? I don’t need that any more.”
John Hooten
Boys and girls,
Please don’t say mean things to our friends. Just tell them that Granny is using the other wheel. It always works. Reserve your inate cruelty for the “FALL OFF!” bunch.
Thank you ever so much, carjug.

Egad. I had one, but Harper’s are better.
What the hell.
“Where’s your other wheel?”
“I don’t need a training wheel.”

Hell, smile and clap.
Darwin: whistling “Enter The Gladiators”
Unicyclist: “Is that your family song?”
Darwin: “Hey, is there a circus in town?”
Unicyclist: “Why, is your family looking for work?”
Once upon a time many years ago I was getting ready to ride in a parade and I rode by some smart guys sitting on their motorized two wheel contraptions…I didn’t have to say a word:
Dumb Smart guy: “Where’s your other wheel?”
Dumb Smarter guy: “He’s got a bike up his butt!”
I could only imagine what a wheel and handle bars would look like as they stretched out the skin on my upper body. Just like you see before the alien pops out of someones body in a scary alien movie.
Eeeewww!
By that logic, a “motorized two wheel contraption”-rider has 4/5 of a car up his butt!
No wonder bikers get hemorrhoids!
a personal favourite answer to :“where’s your other wheel?” remains the slightly enigmatic “this IS the other wheel”
i saw that on this site somewhere
closest to original i’ve heard was “he needs a welder” while i was pushing two unis
