Quote of the day (from non-riders)

Fall Off, Waah". I almost did I was laughing so hard.

Loose. *


Eng/US translation:

chav = uncouth youth
nova/corsa = small uninteresting cars, usually driven by "chavs" who
have added a sound system worth more than and heavier than the car

LMAO

P.S. Cheers for the language conversion S7ev0, I kind of forgot about
the whole society difference thing.

Where does unicycling fit into the category of "insanity"? Please
entertain this question, it really gets me going some days... *


Hmm... One of the reasons that I've taken up this "insane" sport is to
keep me sane!

go figure.....

Today I was riding across the Seattle Center grounds back to my car. I
was riding my freestyle, my giraffe in my left hand with the wheel
rolling ahead of me, carrying an ultimate wheel in my right hand, and my
trials strapped upside down on my backpack.

Right as I approached my car I met a man coming towards me from the
parking lot. As we passed he said:

"Put those together and you'll have something."

Clever comment. Clearly he already knew where my other wheel was.

Okay, yesterday's quote was nothing special, but I'm adding it here
because I thought up a great new comeback afterwards.

While crossing the biggest intersection on my commute, I pass a
bicyclist waiting in the left turn lane for his light to turn green. He
says "You're missing something." I gave him the standard, "I don't miss
it at all."

But then I was thinking. I've replaced two skinny 700c wheels with one
bigger, fatter wheel. So for Coker riders, a new variation on the
"Where's your other wheel" and similar:

"I'm compensating!"

Some won't get it, but too bad for them.

which I thought was pretty rude... O_o
