“Does the terrain mess with you at all?”
“Yer missin’ yer other wheel mate!” yuck-yuck-yuck From like 800 people at Park City today. 
Every time I hear it, I lose just a little more faith in mankind.
At the south end of the Central Park loop, amidst lots of people walking, biking, skating and jogging, I heard a very loud version of the same comment from about 30 meters away, but with some added originality:
“That’s the Obama cycle: You only get half!”
I was riding around at a street dance/festival in Fall City Nebraska over the 4th of July. Some gal in her mid twenties stopped to watch me. She said" mister I bet you could cruse a watermelon with your thighs".
I got a good laugh out of that one. Made me wish I was a few years younger! 
After commuting to class, a teacher commented, “Wow. You travel light.”
“I don’t know how you do that. I can’t even ride a bike that well.”
Out getting some practice on my new Nimbus 29 road uni:D got the shadow handles on. Guy saw me and said, “handlebars on a unicycle? Isn’t that cheating?”
Seriously?!
Doing Manchester SkyRide yesterday, I had plenty of cyclists tell me ‘Well, I have trouble doing a lap of this on two wheels…’
I had one guy tell me that I’m cheating by just bringing the one wheel. I was slightly confused by that one.
Lots of people telling me that ‘two wheels are easier than one’, and looking annoyed when I blasted past them on hills
“Don’t do it!”
I was riding around the Bicentennial Mall State Park in Nashville. There is a large granite map of the state of Tennessee at the South(East) end of it. The map and a border around it is level, or at least more so than the surrounding ground. The Southwest corner is level with the ground, so I can ride onto it. At all other points, there are stairs down to the ground level.
I was making my loop around the border and hadn’t executed my turn yet (the Northeast corner of the state is very pointy) and I heard a kid over in the area with the picnic benches yell “Don’t do it!” Then I nailed my turn and rode on.
It would probably blow his mind to know what some of you guys do on stairs.
On my (almost) daily ride there’s a guy on one of the stalls on the seafront. We’ve somehow ended up with the mutual greeting of:
Him - Morning Speedy! (My pedalling I guess)
Me - Morning mate, nice weather
Him - Indeed. Pull a wheelie (fixie) then!
Me, holding my arms in a there ya go pose - Always!
This is literally every time I pass him. Sometimes I go the same route home and he always shouts ‘see ya tomorrow Speedy!’
I’m currently riding a 26" trainer…I wonder what he says when I fly by on my new 36" Nightfox (or Oracle…still undecided) Just over a week to go, I can’t wait!
I still like the spontaneous monosyllablic blurts:
“No!” 
“What?!?” 
…hahaha 
Yeah, I just came back from Big Basin Redwood Forest camping, hiking and muni with family.
The kids and adults yelled as they the first time saw me go down a steep single track hiking trail, “dont do it!! Dont do it!!” As I easily went down the hill. For some reason they refuse to realize my legs are my brakes and I really cant go faster than my pedals…and for any reason, I could always bail out by jumping off.
I also landed my personal best. Stuck a 28 inch little ledge drop off (as tall as my tires; measured by my 26"muni on 3"tires)
It was a cool “WoW!!” reaction from self and family as I realized I didnt have any ball crunching effects 
Roger that… Sure, for them its a first. And sure, for them it really is funny. But I feel like my nodding sh#t eating grin in response must be getting pretty obvious.
One afternoon after work, riding through a park on the edge of the CBD where various people hang out day and night including some who are there because they have nothing better to do. A guy, late twenties/early thirties, calls out.
“Get a life”.
“Somewhat ironic.”, I thought as I nonchalantly rode on.
Riding at the park with my kids. A little boy shouts, “Guys, come look at this…its cool!”
My daughter (5) says “Thats not cool, its just my dad!”

Riding down a busy main road in the cycle lane (downhill), a guy comes whizzing past me on an old relic of a mountain bike, slows down a bit so I can catch up, and shouts “F**K that, I’d rip my arse in half!”
Heard during my first ride on a bike path.
Old man on foot barks as I pass by, “Sorry, that doesn’t make sense!”
Two twenty-something’s jogged by. Girl says to guy, “you can ride a unicycle? I didn’t know that”. Guy says, “yeah it’s been awhile. Learned in gym class”.
Bicyclist yells, “to your left” then after passing, “good job”.
Ride was almost three miles.
Large black man on corner with booming voice: “Watch your balls, brother! Watch your balls!” He repeated it three or four times, very loudly and slowly as I rode by, and there were lots of people around.
I suppose a “Yes, I don’t want them to get caught in the spokes!” would have been ideal (I was on a 29), but he had caught me completely off-guard, so I just tried to pretend that I hadn’t heard him or something. I was arriving at my front door anyway.
I got passed today by a bike as I WALKED my 36er up a hill. “That’s impressive,” she says.
I wanted to say, “it’d be more impressive if I was ridding,” but I was too out of breath. 
“Let me show you how to free mount.”
As I’m coming around the bend of a quarter mile track a 30-something dude (with a bmx bike) yells, “how long have you been riding”? I respond, “two months”.
I round the same bend a second time he says, “how many laps?” I respond, “two”. On the other side of the track I UPD in the wind and it takes several attempts to free mount.
As I round the bend a third time dude says, “here, let me show you how to free mount”. Stupid me, I stop. I ask, “you know how to unicycle?” He says yes and he’d like to show me how he free mounts. I tell him I’ve seen all the ways to free mount. I’m not good at it but will get better with practice. He starts to take my uni out of my hands as I say “no, thanks. I need to keep riding”.
I guess he was dying to see if he could still ride. I don’t think he’d dare try that with another dude.
