I have yet to run into another unicyclist at all. I certainly assume that anyone who asks me where my other wheel is does not ride.
I had someone yell “ride faster” the other day, from a distance. I was going pretty slow. So he could have been a unicyclist giving me advice, or just someone who likes to yell.
I’d say one of two things, either
“wow, a _____, I’ve never ridden one of those”
or
“wow, that’s the same unicycle I have”
Clearly, it’s necessary to say “wow” first.
I tell them to get a real bike, then i give an ol’mighty lol and ask for a turn.
lololol
Since Alan Tepper has taught literally thousands of people in the Snoqualmie Valley to ride unis through both the Panther Pride Unicycle Team and his work as the P.E. teacher at North Bend Elementary I run into probably two people per week that smile and mention they can ride too. They are usually late high school age and haven’t ridden since grade school.
If I have the time and they look interested I try to stop and offer them my uni to prove to their friends that they can ride. My trials works well for this since the seat is set lower. I can tell by the way they handle the uni whether they really can ride or not, and try to be encouraging whenever possible.
I’d rather their friends say something like “I didn’t know you could ride one of those, that was really cool!” than “I told you ya couldn’t ride”.
Same thing on Long Island.
for those who sign
FTFY
I mean, how else do you show someone that you ride only one wheel?
maestrb8 gets the simpleton …er… i mean, simplistic award
768? I Don’t get it.
I would do something very similar to this, but I’ve never ran into another unicyclist that was on a unicycle.
Where did you people learn to count? That’s clearly 2941.
Blasphemy!

You just have to run at them hooting hollering and yelling at the top of your lungs.
Just remember not to leave out special key phrases like unicycle, kris holm, defect, naucc, of course 768, unicon, unispin, coker, euc, etc…
Not really sure what you are getting at but the classification for a uni can vary from state to state. In California a bicycle is defined as being chain or belt driven so a uni doesn’t count unless its a giraffe. A normal uni defaults to pedestrian just as a person in a wheelchair. You wouldn’t call a wheelchair a bicycle. Can be confusing but knowing the law could get you out of a bicycle ticket for riding on the sidewalk or something.
Yeah the 768 thing is all clear now !??!?!?!
Oh. I get it now, even though I don’t understand (and I’m okay with that).
I have seen many cops while riding. Lots of times I’m on the sidewalk. I’ve never had anyone bug me about it. (Knock on wood–768 times.)
In my 10 years of riding it’s happened to me once. I was in a town park, taking a break with my muni, when 2 HS kids rode down the street towards me on their unis 
I’ve since run into a handful of people who could ride, but never while they were riding (aside from one gent in VT who’s name escapes me, but he was training for RTL).
I read this and saluted.
Say Hi to everyone for me! haha I still have that tube of facepaint you gave me at naucc last year 
Anyone who was on the forums at the time of that thread (1000-1) knows that 768 is the number that the thread got stuck on and that killed the thread. It’s basically become an inside joke on the forums.
So you’re a CLOWN??
