Default People Love us!


This morning on my Commute I was riding on the snowy sidewalk and a
S.U.V. pulled up with the window down, A kid leaned out and snap a photo
on his Cell Phone and drove off.. Just thought I'd share.

We rode last night at the Alamo, in San Antonio, and a couple of people
stopped us and wanted us to pose for pics. What I found to be funny was
that the didnt want to be in the pics, just us. Remember, Unicycling is
like a virus... spreading one person at a time.

That happens quite often when we're out riding. Last week, I was
cycling home from university, and was leaning on a pole waiting for the
traffic lights to change. I looked round and there was some girl taking
a foto of me on her fone. As soon as she saw that I saw her she ran off
giggling. She was in her 20's.

Simple things entertain simple minds, eh? I wasn't even moving!

Still, it is kinda cool.

I was riding last year in downtown Memphis with another member of the
Memphis Unicycle Club. An out-of-town family stopped us to talk. They
put their two kids in front of us and took our picture.

I had 4 cars pull over to watch me pass by them while riding yesterday.

One guy walking with his girl gave me the weirdest look.
The only thing I can think of that would put a look like that on
someones face, is that he thought I was a freak.
(But, his girl had a very nice smile )

I get photo's taken of me occationally, but not all of them are on the
Uni.

Last week a guy with a European accent drove by with his window down so
he could yell ...

"Your a jam ... !"

I need a translation, but I think he wasn't being mean.

I really get to much attention in the city

I had a guy stop me on my way home from work (at midnight! ) that
asked about Marvin (my Coker) and took a picture.
