high on unicycling

Alright, just wanna know if I’m the first! I was riding my unicycle last night
around campus, and I started smoking a bowl while riding down the sidewalk… a
great experience, I must say. anyway, anyone else heard of someone trying that
or tried it yourself? heh, later

    I would say that as much as you ride, you are in serious danger of an
    overdose ! :-)

RE: high on unicycling

And we all are probably kidding ourselves that riding doesn’t affect us. We
might think we are not affected, how can we tell? We’re unicycling!

I do it all the time, great feeling isn’t it? I actually learnt to ride many
years ago on LSD! Now that was an experience!

Unicycles have been around for about 130 years. There is not a lot that probably
hasn’t been done on them, including being the first one to get arrested on
one… :slight_smile:

ALL RIGHT!

RE: high on unicycling

I know I’m affected by unicycling! It is a positive feeling that makes me feel
different than I usually do, brings me joy and makes the other struggles in my
life more bearable. And isn’t that why people drink or get stoned? To feel good?

My new slogan: Unicycling, the natural high!

Crazy idea here, but it almost seems like I ride BETTER when I’m high. You
don’t think about riding at all, you just cruise around with no worries…

Re: high on unicycling

Hehehe, I’m still in my stupid youth phase. I don’t plan on trying a giraffe
like that, and I still have to be pretty sober to work on my skillz, but it was
a ‘different’ experience all the same. Sorry if I ticked anyone off for being a
druggy unicycler :slight_smile:

Hmm… alcohol always makes me into a brilliant conversationalist, an
outstanding pool player and a truly profound philosopher. Or at least that’s the
way it seems to me :slight_smile: No doubt it will improve my cycling as well.

Re: high on unicycling

For me , riding uni after drinking alcohol is very very dangerous. Reaction time
AND balance is affected. However, it seems ganja does not affect my balance, or
reaction time

Greg, have you ever tried riding backwards and smoking?

Re: high on unicycling

I’ve tried and tried riding backwards, but no success. BUT, I have never tried
riding backwards while high. I bet I could do it. My riding seems so much
smoother when I’m floating above that wheel high. Hehe, next time, I’ll try
riding backwards. Maybe try some one foot riding too, what the heck :slight_smile:

I just get high from riding. Don’t even need a giraffe, either. Then the only
dangerous chemical I have to worry about is gravity (and its effects on my hands
and knees)!

You are kidding yourself if you think taking drugs doesn’t affect you. You may
think you’re not affected, but how can you really tell? You’re high.
