Quote of the day (from non-riders)

Today I spared the air! For the first time this year I *finally* got off
my butt and rode to work (Coker). I feel good! And out of shape!

Today's quote comes from a runner, going the other way on the American
River Bike Path:
"Open your mouth wide—you can have lots of bugs for breakfast!"

I never heard that one before. Oddly, I met him right where I turn off
onto the dirt for my shortcut out to the neighborhood.

I only saw two other bikes on my whole 3-4 mile stretch of bike path.
During the summer it's a dozen minimum, usually more. I saw about 10
runners, and 1 inline skater. So I'm not the only lazy one this time of
year.

Quote #2, from a lady who held the door of my building open for me:
"Where's the rest of it?" I said I left it at home; it's too heavy.

Add your good non-rider quotes here.

-Riding to do errands in February with cycling tights on....-

Woman in line in post office: "Wow! How do you get legs like that?
Really nice! I work out all the time and still have chicken legs."

"Bicycling and unicycling, mostly unicycling."

Woman behind counter: "Yeah, he rides all over the place."

Made my day.

Being currently wheeless, my current comments have mostly been from
friends saying either "Where's your wheel?" or "Man, I'm seeing
unicycles all over the place now!" To which I do a Burns-ish finger
movement whilst saying "Excellent..."

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

We did that one as a cartoon in the On One Wheel back in 1983. It
showed a guy riding a giraffe, and a litle kid on the ground saying
something like "Hey, can you really ride that?" The guy on the giraffe
just has a grim expression on his face.

Yesterday I got the very common kid question "How do you *do* that?" As
I was passing by I just said "Like this!"

Riding on my 20", using my 26" ultimate wheel as a steering wheel, you
get a lot of people looking strange at you..

A comment i got was "Oh my god! Using the spare wheel for steering?
Clever thinking!"

I say hello to allmost everybody i meet, and i do a couple of circles
once in a while, just to show it's working properly!

I had one kid say, "Mommy, (while I was riding) she CAN'T ride that!!
He seemed quite upset that I was interfering with his understanding of
reality.
