This morning I went for a nice long unicycle ride.

For some reason I received about 10 times more stupid unicycle comments than I
usually do.

I even had one woman get angry with me because I ignored her when she stupidly
commented “you’ve lost 1/2 your bike”.

Perhaps I should start wearing a shirt that says “KEEP YOUR STUPID COMMENTS TO
YOUR SELF”.

Or maybe I could fit a machine gun to my bike, that would teach them…

… ha ha ha , I’ll rule the world.

Got to go now and employ an evil minion, a mad scientist and some sort of
creature that is 1/2 human and 1/2 beast.

any color, and any wheel size, making them even scarier than tandem
unicycles(but not as silly looking).

>Never mind the bad lines, what’s you fav?

The best comment I have had happened while I was getting ready to put my muni
in the car after a ride. A mountain biker with a squeaky drivetrain asked me if
I had any chain lube with me. All I could do was laugh and tell him that I
didn’t need any.

When my sister and I were training for UAM this summer, we rode from Brookings,
SD, to Lake Benton, MN, a 30-mile trip. On our way back home again, we were
taking a break in the grass at the side of the road when a highway patrol guy
stopped and asked if we were ok. he asked us a bunch of questions - where were
we going and did our parents know we were out here. He was very surprised we
went all the way to Lake Benton. He didn’t tell us we couldn’t keep going, so we
picked up our unicycles and prepared to set off. The highway patrolman did a
double take – “you came on THOSE?!” We just burst out laughing! The whole time
he was talking to us he had assumed we were biking! Then he asked, “Are you able
to keep those on the shoulder?” Of course!

Here are a few other comments: “You guys are COOL! But I can ride two of them at
once!” “Can I ride on the handlebars?”

Tammy, didn’t you have someone say to you,

“Look Mommy, It’s a Unicorn”

That’s the best one I’ve heard.

Yes! We have gotten that comment from kids more than once! They just know the
prefix “uni” I guess and say the first thing that comes to mind. :slight_smile:

Today was only “Now that’s just showing off” - from a passing cyclist :o)

Best comments came over a two day period. First day riding round to the shops,
three lads on a corner - “Where’s you other wheel mister?”. “My mate’ll be a
long in a munite with it” said I, forgot about it.

A few days later I was walking to the shops, same three lads “I didn’t see your
mate” says the first, the others just killed them selves laughing :o))

First time one of York’s Clubbers held out a hand & shouted “TAXI” I near fell
off laughing.

Never mind the bad lines, what’s you fav?

take care, colin.

down the street.

Now THAT would be kewl.... Mount a .50 caliber on the front of the seat. Or
better yet, a MINI-GUN! [Gatling gun.]

Recoil might be a problem, though.... &lt;G

Re: stupid comments

Two things:

  1. my garage is so cluttered with unicycles, it’s like living in a stycycle!

  2. yesterday, someone (a grown woman, unlike Sky’s example) said to me, “are you
    the one going around campus on that onecycle?”

and so the thread comes full circle, as it were :slight_smile:
