Three riders from the Bedford Unicycles Trials Team were just finishing a ride when we passed a guy who asked: Are you sharing a tricycle ?
I haven’t heard that one before. Kind of creative.

Yesterday I heard a kid saying to his friend, “Hey, look at the wheeled thing”.

“now there’s a balancing act”…“heh heh heh…”
I heard a great one the other day when I was out riding my coker. I passed a family group out in the park.
One kid asks the standard “are you a clown?” while the other kid with an awed look on his face says “You could make Millions!”
Now I wish I’d stopped and asked him how to make my millions 
Re: Ever heard this one ?
Making millions is nothing.
One man looked at me in the subway and said “That’s genius, if you could
ride that in the time of Christ, they would think you were god.”

I think I finally found a good response to the “You lost a wheel” type comments.
The other day, when asked, I responded “Which one?”
The old man was a little startled and lost in thought…
That’s a good one! The other day, I took my unicycle on the bus and when the bus driver asked the standard question, I told him that it caught the previous bus.
This last week I was out on uni ride with my wife and there was another couple approaching us on the pathway. They were on a tandem bicycle and the guy had that look on his face…you know the one, the look that they’re trying to think of something smart to say, before the guy had a chance to open his mouth I said “Ours broke.”

Really nice to hear you are riding again !!!
I was talking to Jay Gilligan in New York a couple months ago and asked how you were. He told me you were riding… cool.
Can’t wait to see you in a couple weeks.
Take it easy,
Darren
… riding through park on my 29’er last week a guy I passed by said to his young son, look a ‘monocycle’…

Thanks for the words Darren. Nothing is easy right now, but I’m working on it daily. See you in Mpls.
haaha

that made me laugh! good response!
I recently got to use a clever tandem comment. We were headed toward each other in opposite directions and they were giving me the curious look as we got closer. As I passed them, I said “I really respect your wheel economy”. I think they might have had to think about that one, because there was no response.
Yeah, I am amazed at the amount of, mainly parents who call unicycles, monocycles. Also, the amount of people, mainly kids, who think it is a tricycle! 
Its funny nevertheless, and I like the tandem comments! I go out on our tandem quite a bit with my dad!
