Like selling “dried plums” in the supermarket.
Prunes are for old, constipated people.
But dried plums… cool daddy-o 
Was riding at my local outdoor mall and these two things happened to me:
Lil Boy: Mom! There’s a guy on a unicycle!
Lil Girl: Where!?
Lil Boy: Behind you! Mom look!
Mom: There is no one on a unicycle at the mall!
Lil Girl: I see him, mom he’s behind us!
Lil Boy: Mom turn around!
At this point I ride past them waving
Mom: What the He-
Lil Boy: See I told you! 
And then later that day with a different Lil Boy:
Lil Boy: Mom there’s a guy with a unicycle. I want one of those!
Mom: We need to get you shoes first, then we will see about the unicycle.

While riding through Keyport, NJ today I passed a young hipster mom with her hiply attired 4 or 5 year old daughter who exclaimed - the mom that is - “Wow, I feel like I’m back in New York.”
Which raises the question, of course, who among you regularly rode by this woman when she lived in the city?
So I used to regularly get (and quite enjoy) the classic “where is your other wheel” and “you’ve lost half your bike”. But since Sam Johnston has got heaps of prime time TV and radio coverage for his round Australia ride:
Now I keep getting “are you that guy who is riding around Australia?”
I dont have a witty response up my sleeve for that one. I just have to say “no that is Sam, he is much more impressive than me” and then I ride off with my Flat Fish between my legs.
Got a “look at that guy on a tricycle” from a girl doing PE outside school yesterday
One guy told me: “shift to high gear” - I wanted to tell him that I would have done so, if only I had the required amount of money for the Schlumpf IGH…
Or like someone once said: If I had 1 dollar for every time someone told me “where is your other wheel” I could be a rich man
I think I might have written this up there already, but I got a similar comment about needing gears once - the irony was that I was riding my Schlumpf, the reason I was going slowly was that I was trying to change gear and the chap had been behind me on a bicycle for a while as I’d been waggling my feet around trying to hit the buttons.
I know a little kid who kept calling our unicycles tricycles.
Something similar happened to me once.
I was padding up in the car park before a ride when a woman came out of a car that had just pulled up near us. She asked us if we could photograph her with a uni and explained that it was required as part of a game she was playing with a friend. In order to win the game you must photograph yourself with as many objects on a list of random objects before the other player does - luckily ‘unicycle’ was on the list.
I know it’s not really relevant in this thread but hey, someone may find it interestind
From a 30 something passing me on a bicycle “Did you know that was what they meant when you went to the half off sale”
Well it’s kind of like this The riding game! but in reverse. Though I don’t think we’ve ever had “woman in a car” on that list 
I know, but I couldn’t remember the name. Maybe someone should start a thread with a game like she was playing…
Maybe she had three eyes! They say there are stranger things here in the Fens of East Anglia! Webbed feet…

I was riding with a friend and we are at the ohio state university campus and some guy on a trials bike started riding with us and he said we were the coolest thing since the monty race light
Bicyclist: “You’re missing something!”
Damn! Undermined my usual replies.
“I’m not missing a thing.” I replied without satisfaction.
So you ride the real flatland? The praerie? I’m only on the edges (Long Bennington, near Grantham) and we don’t have hills for some distance, but we do at least have slopes. On a clear day you can see forever, if you stand on a bucket. Whereabouts near Cambridge are you?
yep math education has really gone down hill…
WYOW
Ask your mom
I rode passed four early 20-somethings dressed in kelly green heading to the train station today. I told them to drink responsibly.
They told me to ride responsibly since I only had one wheel.
