Quote of the day (from non-riders)

now that I look back on it... Nothing's funnier than being followed by a
tone deaf homeless dude trying to hum the circus tune, lol. At the time
I was somewhat annoyed. He then proceeded to try to bum cigarettes, and
then caught himself and said "oh I guess you probably don't smoke, so
you can stay healthy and keep doing that" to which I responded there
were other reasons I didn't smoke. He asked why and I said I just prefer
to stay healthy so I can enjoy my life to the fullest, and not end up w/
cancer some day. It appeared this was not a concept that had occurred to
him, lol

One bicyclist in a group of three said "Keep fighting the good fight" as
I rode past them.

There is a school near my house that I ride at often because of urban
obstcles and things. Seems like whenever I go there I get a "hey look
its the unicycle man!" or a "look,he's riding on a unicycle" and one
time I got a "hey daddy,he's riding a bike with one wheel!" from all of
the kids on the playgrounds Haha.they all just make me laugh.

would have been hard core

While riding my Nimbus 36 on the street, half way up one of the steepest
hills I'm able to climb, struggling a bit because I'm not used to the
short cranks, a man driving down stops, rolls down his window and asks
me directions. I point that it's back the way he came, while thinking,
give me a freaking break.

Then the insensitive man proves what an idiot he is by backing up the
hill to get back to the intersection, with traffic already backed up
behind him.

I didn't wait around, didn't hear a crash, just glad he didn't run me
over.

Made the hill.

I caught a skateboard someone threw at me.

Unfortunately it was broken--But now I have half a skateboard!

TAKE MY BIKE OUT!! AND YOU COME ON ONE WHEEL!!" and I'm writing this in
capslock because he was yelling it.. like i was deaf.. seriously...

Yeah, I remember one comment I got last winter during my first test run
with the studded tyre on my 26. There was ice everywhere and people were
having enough trouble staying on their feet, while I was casually
rolling along on the wheel.

While waiting for the green light to cross a street a guy asks me
slightly uncertainly "Did you lose a bet or are you doing this on a
dare?". I just replied that I did it for the fun of it. I don't think he
accepted that explanation, but at least he didn't get in my way when the
light turned green
