Thanks @gocup, that does look impressive and a nice challenge to go up without UPD’ing
After I was hit by a car the person that hit me said “I thought I had snapped your bike in two”

Look at that. He only needs one wheel to have fun.
Was at the park the other day…

That’s funny. What would be a good card for a unicyclist?
Maybe something like:
No, I’m not missing a Wheel
I have several at home
It was not half price off
It’s not a result of my divorce settlement
I don’t work in a circus
You need to work on your jokes

Actually, a unicycle often costs half the price of a bike of similar quality…
I found this video from from a few years ago when this guy rode in a large annual charty bike ride. 1 unicycle, 10,000 bikes. He came prepared…
I unicycled that same ride a few years later. It’s tough on a unicycle, kudos to him.

I will be part of a 200k race in a few weeks, I should get something similar too…
Him: “That looks exhausting!”
Me: “Yeah, but it’s not (pause) 2-tiring” (Thanks @UniGeezer)

Replying to myself! - in previous post I described the excitement of a class of kids taken to a hillside viewing platform at our national arboretum when I rode up the zigzag track. Today I went to that area again for a ride in a different area a bit further away, entering a road via a single track. Once again, I heard the cries of “unicycle” (a word that seems to carry some distance). Then I waved my arms and more cheers, then a shout of “fall down” so I staged a fake fall to the ground and got more cheers (!?). It seems like getting a bunch of kids in the open with a teacher brings out certain behaviors, with the kids competing with each other and enjoying the chance to misbehave slightly.

A post on a local Facebook group. I was indeed the ‘random guy on a unicycle’. I actually said to him that he shouldn’t mention me, tell people you saw big cats, ghosts or the Loch Ness monster and they might believe you, tell them you saw a guy out for a night time unicycle ride in the woods and you will be met with scepticism!
