It takes twice the man (or woman…) to ride half the bike.
James, are you saying Unicyclists are mostly fat people?
Lauren, do you want quotes about Unicyclists by Unicyclists, or quotes by non-Unicyclists about Unicyclists, or both? I like the quote on the Unicycle.co.nz T-shirt that I got, which says-
“No Gears, No Brakes, No Handle-bars… No Problem”. That’s a cool quote on your T-shirt too, “MUni Militia, One wheel death squad”.
LoL, well copied off the T-shirts for sale on uni.com, James
“That’s insane! I do a lot of stupid stuff, and all. I blow stuff up when it’s 20 feet away, I drag myself across a sigle rope suspended over a gorge, but that is just insane”
-My cousin David, upon seeing my new Torker 5ft 'raffie
“For my 16th birthday, I got a new set of wheel.”
-Me, upon being asked if I got a car for my sweet 16th
I like the quote that’s currently my sig. In case I change it, it reads: “there ain’t enough body armor in the country for me to try that” I saw it on a mountain bike forum. It was said by a mountain biker about MUni.
I like this one from The Simpsons, makes me want to try out my son’s guitar:
"If something is to hard to do, then its not worth doing. You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your shortwave radio, your karate outfit and your unicycle and well go inside and watch TV. --"Homer Simpson
Someone was using it as their sig line for awhile.
Re: uni quotes…
Most quotes I have heard are the comments people hurl at me when I ride by
them.
Not all the witty or bright, just repeating comments. Such as, “What
happened to the other half of your bike?” or “Where did you learn to do
that?” I have my standard replies, “Don’t need the other half” and “Here in
Toronto”.
I think more fun that the quotes are the double takes people do when you
come rolling down the street. You know the kind of stares that keep you from
looking - when you should be looking. I have caused traffic accidents
because people have been watching me ride instead of watching traffic and
the traffic lights.
Am I mean to start laughing the moment they stop watching me? Ka-thunk!
The beauty of riding a unicycle is that the rider becomes one with the
wheel.
It is a delicate ballet that is like skating and flying and you are always
on the edge of failure as you ride the line of success.
Whether tis nobler in the minds of men to mount their unicycles standing or
running, to take arms against a sea of asphalt and gravity, and by opposing,
end them. That is the question.
But the more important question is are unicycles also considered
“wheelchairs” or are they “wheelseats”.
I am the gas, the steering and the brakes because I am a Unicyclist!

Re: Re: uni quotes…
I think I’d call it a “wheelstool”
Hey,
Lauren is my girlfriend, and “lozza” is not Lauren… just to clear things up…
Anyway, a good quote is:
“It’s not an act, it’s a sport” Kris said that one, and I think it’s sweet. I’m going to put it on a shirt.
-Dylan
My response to “where’s the other wheel” and all its variations is an incredulous “You mean ride two wheels at the same time? Man, I’m not that good!”
To the people who watched me learn and say to me, “Man, you’ve really improved,” I respond, “Yeah, improving was my secret plan all along.”
Usually when I get a “where’s your other wheel” remark from someone on a bicycle, I reply with “I don’t need a training wheel, why don’t you get rid of your’s”
LOL!!!
Thats awesome!!! I think i’ll have to use that next time someone says that to me 
“Where there’s a wheel, there’s a way.”
Heard from a man on the street in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1984.
well, at the belle isle MUni day, we were talking to a guy and he asks us “so do ya’ll just ride trails or do you do extreme stuff?”
most of us stared incredulously, but someone answered “yeah”
oh yea, the one in my sig is cool too
*quotations
“I live on the edge. Sometimes I fall off.” -Me, Steve Winterburn
That’s going at the end of my revised video. Look out for it in a couple weeks, or maybe even less… I’ll inform you all when I complete it. 
Also… “quote” is a verb. “Quotation” is the noun. 
Re: uni quotes…
These are all from r.s.u. and have been my sig at some time. The two
uncredited ones are my own (I think).

That was beautiful!!!
My favorite response to the “Where’s the other half of your bike?” question.
“My doctor told me to lose 15 pounds, fast! So I threw away half my bike!”
Did I make that up or steal it from someone, I don’t remember? --chirokid–
here’s what i said to a guy who made me notice that:
“DUDE! YOU LOST YOUR OTHER WHEEL!”
“OH CRAP! You’re right! My dads gonna kill me!”
then I said under my breath (but loud enough so he could hear me)
“Genius”
“I bet that I could ride that because I ride a scooter. They’re equally hard. Your unicycle is harder because you have a bigger wheel to worry about, but I have to worry about two wheels, even though they’re kinda small.”
- kid at a skate park
“I keep falling forward because there’s no handlebars to stop me”
- 8 year old kid I taught how to unicycle

Nothing concentrates the mind like learnng to ride a uni.
