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. -- johnfoss - The wilder Wilder John Foss, the Uni-Cyclone "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com "Read the rules!" -- 'IUF Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/rulebook/) -- 'USA Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/usa/competition/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/38668 |

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..." -- evil-nick - Unicyclist, Linux Geek, & swell guy Fear is the mind-killer.

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?"

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! -- lleberg - Level 4 unicyclist I 3 my unicycle! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lleberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8272 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/38668 |
