Responses to:
“So you got it half price ?” and “How do you do that ?” and …other such
‘niceties’ could be good.

(when dressed in street clothes) No. Are you? (when in costume) No, I’m a race
car driver (other times) No, are you sleepwalking?
>“Is that hard??” ( I get this one heaps)
(for the guys) That’s awfully personal, don’t you think? No, that’s hard.
(pointing at the ground) No, it’s impossible.
>“Did someone steal half your bike??”
Worse, they stole 3/4 of my car! No, they stole my whole bike, now I have to
ride this!

And…
“Are you a clown???” “Is that hard??” ( I get this one heaps) “Did someone
steal half your bike??”
I still can’t think of anything smart to say to these, even though I get asked
them all the time. The funny thing is that everyone thinks that they’re really
original and clever, and that I’ve probably never been asked that before!

My proudest moment was when someone yelled you “Hey you’re missing a wheel!” I
actually realized that I was! Oh my gosh! I’VE BEEN RIDING FOR 8 MONTHS ON ONE
WHEEL! Actually, I just told him that he had 3 more then he needed (he was
on a skateboard). He got a good chuckle out of it, and I knew I had to use that
one again. I just hate it when people ask “Is that Hard?” because I know I have
to give a serious answer to that question, I haven’t been able to think of
anything funny. I’m not sure if anyone has a similar “problem,” but I have a
friend who rides also, and that opens up the possibilitys for more one liners:
“Where’s the rest of your bike?” (“Jared? Do you have my other wheel?”)
“What… Couldn’t afford a bike?” ("Nope, If I had enough money to buy a bike do
you think I’d still be a paper boy?)
I’ve heard so many new questions, some of them are actually creative and give me a good laugh.

Still working on this one. >> “How do you do that ?”
Very Carefully.

Are you? >“Is that hard??” ( I get this one heaps)
Yes >“Did someone steal half your bike??”
Did someone steal half your brain?(Hmm, that’s a little mean isn’t it) Maybe
substitute originality or creativity for brain. -Mad Hatter

“Did someone steal half your bike??” “No, I stole half of someone elses ;)”
Maybe it’s just me, but that cracks me up!

LOL! I love that one. Hehe…now I just can’t wait for someone to ask
me that
“Did someone steal half your bike??” “No, I stole half of yours. Go home and
look in your garage!”
I luv it
Hmmm…time to do my paper run. I have the sad, sad title of being probably the
lowest paid person ever to unicycle as a job - a unicycling paper girl Hehe.
Tragic, huh? Fun though…and definitely a challenge, it’s actually much harder
work than it looks. And letter box designers are sadists! Anyone else do this?
(Pleeeze tell me I’m not all aloooone.)

Adding to what Trevor says, I’d modify it to read,
“No, I stole half of his (pointing to the other unicyclist next to you), And now
he’s after me … So get out of my way!!!”
or:
“No, I stole half of someone elses, so don’t block my getaway!!!”
or once again,
“No, I stole half of YOUR’s, just check your garage!!!”
Keep 'em coming!!!

My own favs are is that hard? * Yes.* Why are you on one wheel etc?* Can’t
afford a proper bike* and when riding around two wheelers, I admire their spare
wheel, and ask them when they will get rid of the stabiliser.also I call them
two wheelers rather than bikes. if asked who stole the other half I tend to
state firmly that two wheels are for wimps and only one is nessesary. After
doing the Polaris and South Downs Way I really like the mechanical elegance of
my Uni, nothing has broken down, unlike many of the two wheels I passed. happy
