Default Boston area unicyclists


Are you out there? SWB (Single wheeled bicyclist) looking for other
unicyclists in the Boston area to get together with. I'm new to this
sport since Christmas 2003, ride a street legal 20" Torker and have
never done this before. (Posting my first new thread) Yeah I know, it
does sound like a personal ad. But putting that aside, are there any
other Boston area Unicyclists out there reading these forums?

Not to say they're snobs or anything, but I don't know if Ben, Joey
(Cohn) and Dan want to hang around with any "bicyclists," even the
one-wheeled kind.




Just kidding. Welcome to the community!

Thank you for the referrals. I will look them up.

NOT TO SAY THEY'RE SNOBS OR ANYTHING, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF BEN, JOEY
(COHN) AND DAN WANT TO HANG AROUND WITH ANY \"BICYCLISTS,\" EVEN THE
ONE-WHEELED KIND.[/b] *JOHNFOSS*


I WILL BE MUCH MORE CAREFUL IN THE FUTURE USING THAT \"B\" WORD. DON'T
WANT TO BE OSTRACIZED BEFORE I HAVE A CHANCE TO RIDE WITH OTHERS.
BY THE WAY, WHAT HAPPENS TO UNICYCLIST THAT ARE KNOWN TO USE THE \"B\"
WORD TOO MUCH? DO THEY HAVE TO RIDE AROUND WITH A SCARLET \"B\" ON THEIR
CHEST TO WARN OTHER UNI RIDERS TO [b]STAY AWAY FROM THAT EVIL RIDER?
Thank goodness I found out early in my riding career.

Thank you for the welcome!

On these forums, if you -must- say the B word, it is -only- permitted to
say it as 'b*ke.'

*BIKE!!!!* Oh my god i said it!

I know you guys are being tongue and cheek but sometimes it bothers me
the way others are so spartan about refering to it as 'the B word' and
such.

I think bikers can be very cool. They are already half way there....or
is it -twice- way there?

I already confused myself haha.

Thats all for my micro-rant.

Well, with regard to Boston riders, we ended up with 6 last Friday at
MIT. Pretty good considering it was spring break and only 4 jugglers
showed up.

The theme here is definately freestyle, I don't want to give campus
police any reason to ask me to stop riding, or to think that unicycling
is dangerous.

At any rate, I would love to see some people from these forums,
especially those I don't already no show up.

The jugglers meet in Lobby 10 4-6pm Fridays, I have been shooting for
riding in Lobby 13 5-7.

Oh yeah, and Saturday I started trying to one-foot wheel-walk. Go me!

Why would you need two feet, if you only have one wheel?
