Hmmm, boring? Really? Sometimes I think there is a case for collating
the collected musings of Mikefule into a bound volume. “The Unicyclists
Bible”, “The Zen of one Wheel” or some such.
Unicycling amongst the public is a rich source of interesting experience,
and might almost be an end in itself. The public is as much a part of the
environment as the trees, pathways and fallen logs. It should be played
with in a similar way, treated with the same respect, and will then
contribute to your enjoyment of the day. Analysing why the yob made the
inane comment can be a good mind game, and one which Mike seems to be
winning.

There are 10 sorts of people in this world; those who understand binary, and
those who don’t.
Mark, a new member of our weekly ride group, did a wheelie or sorts today. He pedalled up, stopped, bent forward and placed his hands on the ground, went into a handstand position, walked on his hands across the basketball court while still ‘on’ the unicycle, and continued riding along! He’s a professional acrobat and he’s coming along next week as well. Unfortunately I didn’t bring the camera this week, but there’ll be many photos to show you all next saturday.

i got that the other day from a group of guys ‘come on then do a wheelie!’ i just ignored them but next time i’m gonna shout i’m doing a longer wheelie than anyones ever done on a bike!
I live in the UK and certainly over here a wheelie is when (on a bicycle)
you lift up the front wheel and ride on the back one. I don’t take notice
of stupid people like the ones you met. A lot of the time they just try
and wind people up because their social skills aren’t yet developed enough
to start a friendly conversation. Don’t waste your time on them - they’re
not worth it.

When I cycle to school with my cycle helmet, some prats in year 8 (second
year of secondary school) shout out “always wear yer helmet.” I guess
they just can’t think of anything more witty to say.
