Young lad before crossing me on the sidewalk: „Roaaar!“ (oh no, he‘s probably drunk and because of a parked car I can’t just swerve. I guess I will have to endure whatever will follow, sigh 
) „Now that‘s commitment!!!“
During todays ride on the 36”, I met a neighbor who told me, “Yeah, there’s another guy in the neighborhood that rides one of these. He comes by quite often, but his unicycle is smaller and he rides with his dog on a leash.” I responded with “Oh! That’s me!”
I was getting excited about the possibility of another unicyclist living in the neighborhood.

A couple of days ago, I rode casually with my girlfriend (me: G36, her: road bike) and a bystander shouted to her, “Pleeeaaase! Let him win!”

„What is the brake disc on your unicycle for?“ The question wasn‘t as silly as you might think. My new 29er is equipped with a brake disc - but not yet with a brake. Since the frame isn‘t disc brake ready I need to buy a d‘brake adapter before being able to install the brake.
Seeing that my uni wasn’t equipped with a mud guard, someone else wanted to know whether I had the same problems when riding in the rain as when riding a bike in the rain. My better half came up with the correct answer: „he can use an umbrella when it‘s raining“. That‘s indeed something that I regularly do when riding short distances in the rain. I usually take the 20er for this, since the slower speed and the greater distance between the tire and my butt mean less chances of getting wet.

Yeah, this was a good reaction of you and your skills to ride a unicycle. I don’t know if the uni the hatdest bike to ride in the world but it’s not the easyst to ride this uni.
That’s really badass.
Someone has me confused with the other riders from this forum. I’m just a schlub that rides.

A guy driving by said he pointed me out to his five year old soon saying, “look a unicycle!” to which the son replied “I thought those weren’t real”. The son was not too impressed once he saw me.

Maybe its from the popular shout, “Do a kickflip!” said to skateboarders? It goes back to at least 2018.
This morning I ride to work with the 36" Uni. The way was goong Up to the Traffic light , the most traffic loghts are red, so i have to stopped. 10 Meters befor the traffic light a man said to my: “That’s cool”. I was happy that he was the only guy who said that Unicycling cool is.
Also in the last week, i was out with the 26" Uni and a mother said to his son: “Oh a Unicycle” but the son wasn’t interresting at a guy who ride the unicycle.

“Do a bunny hop.” Said without any derision or negativity. So I do a bunny hop. “Alright! That’s so cool.”
“Oh my God. It’s a unicycle.” As I ride past them on a walking trail.
“That’s badass brother!”
“What’s that thing called?” Me: This is my smile machine.
Along few others I can’t remember. These were all pre-dated with: “Are you really going to take your unicycles with you on our family vacation…” which surprised me since it wasn’t ever in question. To which I responded “Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” All I got in response was

UNICYCLE! ……. unicycle! …… unicycle! ………………… unicycle! ……… 
!
When a vehicle approaches a group of hikers or a class from behind them, the first to be overtaken usually start shouting „car!“ or „bicycle!“ to let the people in front of them know that they should make way. This repeats until everybody had the chance to hear the warning and act accordingly (of course there are always people who don’t hear it or at least don’t give way 
).
Well, today it was a unicycle for a change that overtook a ~ second grade class… Although their reaction was perfectly logical I was a bit surprised and amused by it. Some pupils even applauded me. I guess their reaction will be a bit less enthusiastic if this happens again in, say, 7 years ;).

“Isn’t it difficult to stay balanced?”
“Not as long as I keep pedaling.”
Guy spotting me in full kit and aerobars, “Oh! Just relax, dude!” (Does not translate very well, as it’s a phrase). He just meant, he was surprised and couldn’t believe what he say; and maybe unicycling is a little bit ridiculous.

Them: Did you just fall?
Me: No. I had a UPD.
Was practicing 1 foot riding and had a casual step off dismount from imbalance.
Kinda like, “I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.”

Riding on a popular cycling trail yesterday, I passed a small group of cyclists really moving in the opposite direction. The last guy in the pack was super excited to see a Uni.
Him: “Man, you get all the credit!”
Me: “Nah, it’s only half.”

While taking a break at a picnic table and talking to a non-rider, he pointed at me, then pointed at my son and then pointed at the third rider in our group and asked me, “Why are you so sweaty? They aren’t even sweating much at all!” I said, “They’re in better shape”. I shoulda said, “I lost a wheel. Had to go back and find it.”
In my defense, it was hot. 95F, and the humidity made it feel like 104F. And, I was working hard, shown by my huge poppin’ neck vein. 
The last photo shows me and my riding partners that are in better shape than me.

I’ve got way more miles on my body than they do, and it has taken it’s toll.
