1.) 3a.m., middle of nowhere...The ride was unplanned...I had no lights, no helmet and was dressed in black...I get stopped by the cops who asked what I was doing at this ungodly hour..I said I was riding back home ( a long way off)....They saw the uni and gave me a "you're crazy" look and sped off...... 2.) Last week....Riding in broad daylight this time...The cops pull me over and are very friendly...Ask why?how?is it tough?Dangerous?...Tell me to be careful and just before I leave, they take down my indentification number (in case somebody reports a vandal on 1 wheel)...... -- Denali - Heil Denali ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Denali's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9085 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40146 |

Most police-(wo/)men like to do something for someone else, and prefer to make a living out of that, in stead of making a living of selling drugs to kids. And yes, many of them have an anoying pride of having their priveleges and 'power-tools' (http://tinyurl.com/7bo8u)... and unicycles are odd and so atract attention.

several times the cops have told us to go away and stop jumping on the benches. one time they also told us that if we stepped on and/or killed the flowers in the garden, the U of I could sue us. stupid pansies. -- James_Potter - betcha can't stick it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ James_Potter's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3807 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40146 |

There was the time here at K-State that the lady cop came out looking for the skaters that someone had complained about. She reckoned we weren't them (as our wheelerson ratio was 1:1 rather than 4:1), smiled flirtatiously and left us to our graffiti. -- Nepsis - ElCapitan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nepsis's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9943 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40146 |

BTW, I think cops on Cokers is a great idea. I mean...those big bad bicycle cops are so threatening...cops on one wheel would have a much more pleasant reception amidst the community. -- Nepsis - ElCapitan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nepsis's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9943 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40146 |

The local cop unofficially escorting us at the Chiltern Muniuni. Albert thought the road was closed when it wasn't, and spent some time on the wrong side of the road. As this was unoficial, he didn't want pics of the car following. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: muniuni 05 street parade group 1.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/311895| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- billblogs Muniuni Think big, start small ------------------------------------------------------------------------ billblogs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9196 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40146 |

I've never had any uni-related problems with the police. Maybe all of the ones I've encountered while riding my unicycle on the sidewalk had more urgent or pressing things to worry about than me riding past them on the one-wheel. Some cops are cool, some cops are bone-heads. Like every single other profession on the planet, divided between the smart and the dumb. I think it would be a silly thing to give a guy like me a ticket for riding his unicycle on the sidewalk, but from the officers perspective, he might have a very good reason that I simply could not imagine, but he has the shield nevertheless and the options around it are not plentiful...Luckily, it has never happened. I definetly like the idea of cops on cokers. Sort of like cops on horses, except that they would certainly understand the unicycle thing... -- dogbowl - rides a 26", but dreams of a coker! All I want out of life is to be able to ride the unicycle while smoking a cigar at the same time. Is that too much to ask for? www.dogbowl.com / www.eyeballplanet.com I USE LINUX--I LIKE LINUX!!!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dogbowl's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6629 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40146 |
