I’m not one to shy away from the witty rejoinder, but I was already going at a good clip, and there was also lots of the usual beach crowd noise, so I just kept going, but with a pretty big grin, since I thought it was pretty funny. 
Sometimes people like that get even more upset when you simply ignore/snub them, and they don’t get the response they expected.
i always get, “can you juggle too?”
or “when were you in the circus?”
Having just ridden a tough section on my muni, a guy said “You’re an animal” I thanked him and pointed to his dog and said, “No, he’s an animal”
On the trail in Pennant Hills Park yesterday I passed 2 mountain bikers and the lead one said “why use 2 wheels when 1 will do” to which I replied “yeah half the trouble”.A pleasant change from"lost a wheel ha ha ha"and I surprised myself by having a reply.I usually think of a suitable reply about a day after the event.
I was on the train with my brother, so that are two unicyclists, and while we were walking to our place, someone called “Hey, where’s the other one?” and when my brother passed, he just said “Oh.. There it is.”
It’s an excellent book, too.
So today Unreal-Wheel and I somehow got talking to these two s about unicycling and they were asking us all these questions like, “Are you in the circus?”, “What do you mean, extreme unicycling?” “What tricks can you do?”, etc. etc. and a few minutes into the conversation one of the s asks, “Wait, what’s a unicycle?” Apparently she was thinking of a tricycle, but seriously…
hahahaha yeah that was really funny.
girls in our french class = stupid
Today there was class for new Segway owners at the park. They were on the sidewalk along where I was riding.
I couldn’t help feeling snobbish, that they needed all that high tech, not to mention 2 wheels to do the things that unicycles could do. I sorta mimicked them a bit, when they weaved down the walk, or when off in the grass, I copied them. It would have been fun to have a smaller wheel, (I was on the Nimbus 36), so I could have idled along with them as well.
One rider asked me, “Is that a lot of work, is it any fun?” I told him it was great fun! I’m always discouraged that folks don’t see how much fun I’m having. I’m flying high, soaring down walkway, having a great time. They seem to mostly see is how hard I’m exercising. Must be the sweat running down my face.
Yesterday while I was riding up a steep section of the trail, a biker coming down, stopped and asked:
“Are you going downhill too?”
Me: “At my age, it’s all downhill from here!”
haha that’s a good answer xD not that it’s true.. >.< … well anyways
I was riding some trials and some guy came up to me, looked like a druggy and I WAS RIGHT 
well he said
WOW, Thats one of those.. U.. ni.. cycles? (in norwegian of course) and i said yea and he asked for a demonstration.. that was fun dont ussually get a LOT of comments..
Muni addict… THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!
A Non-Rider Sees the Connection
Cruisin’ the big wheel through a botanical garden,
I see a guy I’ve rode by before. He sez:
“That’s a lot like that stand up surfing”.
( SUP- stand up paddle)
I say,
“Funny you mention it. That’s the other thing I do the most of.”
He sez:
''I have a friend who SUPs and it involves a lot of balance."
The picture is an example of SUP and is not me. I like to catch waves when I can.
Riding around campus after dark when:
One guys says: “Dude! that is so hard core!”
Another guys nect to him then says: “Dude, Dude! That guy’s core is hard!”
I’m thinking that they were slightly under the influence, but I just laughed to myself as i rode away:)
At the trail this morning…
Hiker: “Doesn’t that hurt your nuts?”
Me: “Did you mean: ‘doesn’t that hurt? YOU’RE nuts!’, or, 'doesn’t that hurt YOUR nuts?”
Hiker: “Both”
Me: “No & yes to the first, no & no the the second” 
Was riding a nice DH trail on Mt Majura the other day and as it was crossing a firetrail that breaks it up into two sections i saw a MTBer on a cannondale Lefty- i can see him trying to think of a comment so i get in first with “where’s the rest of your fork?” and before he can answer i’ve crossed the road and am bombing down the next section of the trail. The look on his face was priceless.

I didn’t quite hear what he said, so I slowed a bit and said “What??”
He said it again but I couldn’t hear over the Led Zeppelin playing through those headphone buds in my ears.
I sorta felt bad not understanding him, but not enough to stop, I kept going.
Second lap, have no idea what he said that time either.
Didn’t build any bridges today.
That’s really neat.
Prejudice is when people not only think “I’m normal; you’re not”, but expect you to see yourself that way too. You turned the tables on him.
Lol, earlier today I got a great comeback from a couple who were riding a tandem road bike.
I was riding my 36er and as they were passing I said: “Hey, you both have only one wheel each too!”
So as they slowly outpaced me, the guy in front said: “Yeah, but twice the horse power!”
Yesterday me and my brother edd where on a M-uni ride when we could see some old ladies a litttle further on down the track going the same way as us, they were happily chatting away as grannies do, then as we speeded past then we heard them stop talking mid sentance. We left them speechless lol
