Was this mysterious “roadbiker” named Lance by chance? 
Last night Matt, Sam, and another friend spent the night at my house, and we went out riding, and we were up at a place that has a little bit of everything (I’m pretty sure the name is a strip mall). Anyway, we were riding by, and this ~25 YO guy yells to Matt and I “Hey, if y’all hold hands, you’ll have a real bike!”
Funniest comment I’ve heard when we were up at Lutsen for the MN North Shore Muni Weekend. The chairlift guy up at the top had this great laugh and all you needed to do was talk to him and he’d laugh. It was great. So someone said he should try riding one of our uni’s to which he replied (after laughing of course), “That’d be like me balancing on my pecker and that’s not going to happen” or something like that. Let’s just say it was super funny.
I was on the tube with a unicycle & a hockey stick, a very old lady walked past, stopped and stared, came back and said, “Oh. Do you play bicycle polo?”
Yesterday I was out on my 28" and a lady in a 3-wheeled recumbant passed in the other direction and said “hey, do you need a wheel? I’ve got an extra!” I missed the opportunity to reply “no, I don’t need the training wheel anymore!”
Then later an old lady on a bike went by and said “you look like Darth Vader”. Strange. Sure, I had leg and elbow armor, and a helmet, but I’m fairly sure you won’t see Darth Vader riding a unicycle in any star wars movie. Ha ha.
And of course, “hey, a unicycle!” like about 50 times. It seems that every kid has to say that.
I rode my coker to school today. Absolute carnage! I could see whole classes of kids staring as I pushed it passed. My maths teacher beckoned me over and made me demonstrate to one of her younger groups and the number of times I had “Can you actually ride that” and had little kids ask me to demonstrate, in the end I just lost count. At one point I had to tip the uni sideways to stop one arse of a kid trying to ride it. Normally I’d be fine with people trying but this kid was small and his feet wouldnt have even reached the pedals. Next time I’ll just leave it chained up in the common room.
Oh and a “Get a real job you hippy” yelled by a friend of mine out a window.
i sometimes use the 36er to take my little sister to school. i just put a helmet on her, throw her on my back, and off we go. the little kids do tend to go nuts but i just try to ignore them.
Today I was Cokering home from work. I passed by a lady who was on the sidewalk, walking her two dogs. She said, to the dogs, “quick, look, a unicyclist.”
Today I to cross our nearby 4-lane thoroughfare on my Radial 36er. It’s fairly busy and I’d waited for a break in traffic then crossed over in a big sweeping curve.
At the nearby laudromat a 50+ yr old man in a car waiting to pull out said:
Got some good ones today! I went to ride down Mt. Major in New Hampshire today, and during the hike up a guy coming down said “That’s pretty bad-a$$!” There were some other hikers at the summit who looked a little amused/not believing I’d actually do it. Two women who passed us on the way down (a friend was videoing me, so we stopped a lot) said everyone at the summit couldn’t believe I was going to ride down 
Another hiker closer to the base said “You Rule!” Man I felt good today 
A random hiker at the bottom got his wife to take a photo of him and I together, 'cause he said his friends would never believe him otherwise
A good day 
Today a girl in the hallway at school paid me $2 to show her I could ride my uni
This thread rocks.
Into the Blue - Cool Vader link!!! Hmmm I still don’t see the similarities…ha ha… very cool!
harper - a dog talker, “quick, look, a unicyclist.”, how strange. So did the dogs looK? Eh?
Damn I love riding my uni.
A triple play (three positive remarks from people).
I took a break at work and did some laps around a parking lot. One kid yelled “that’s cool!” as I rode past. Another kid said “sweet!” And as I rode past an adult couple the guy said “you rock!”
(incidentally I encountered several moving vehicles and none of them crashed or veered off course)
Coming down the path the other day I encountered a girl (aprox aged 10) and her mother.
Girl: “Look mum that’s really good”
Me: “Thanks”
Girl: “She can hear me too”.
I wonder what it was about my unicycle that made her think that I was deaf?
Some kid, maybe 12 years old, with a loud annoying voice yelled from far away “HAHAHAHA I hope you fall loser!” Another kid, about 7 years old, yelled at almost exactly the same time “I like your bike.” The younger kid was also far away from me, but in the opposite direction so I don’t think they heard each other. Neither comment is noteworthy by itself, but it was amusing to hear such opposite reactions at the same time.
^ thats happened to me
I was practicing uni-spins and sum guy walked along and said
2 seconds later I pulled off a 10cm gapping uni-spin
Thankyou, that gave me a good laugh. Did the dogs respond? imagine the chatter around the dinner table that evening?
that reminds me of something that happened in july.
I was riding in the woods with my 29er and a Big Hairy Dog provoked an U.P.D.
I was baffled because the dog was not aggressive…
owner: “well he remembers you! last time you met you scratched his belly! so now he spotted you and wants you to scratch his belly again!” … and in fact the dog was on his back waiting for Bear to perform his duties:p
wow. you have yourself a fan. i must say, your belly patting technique must be something else!
I walked my dog once whilst unicycling but i think he has purposely erased it from his memory
