Eish, not a great way make friends here, and not a great way to get a fringe sport taken seriously! Well, unicycling might never be taken seriously, but we can have a go at least, haha!

You must be one of the a...holes who ride in the Argus in the wind (2010), get blown over and then bring down ten other cyclists with you ......... not cool but definately gay

I'm one of the a..holes who rode in the 2010 Argus (the original poster isn't). There were no incidents in spite of the wind. Statistically, you are more likely to be taken by a shark whilst swimming than being taken by a unicyclist whilst cycling (I am sure you will agree that my logic here is flawless

). We'll be there for the Argus this year. Please say hi if you pass us - We are not easy to miss

So riding a road bike (and a mtb for that matter) in normal civilized cycling gear, like the majority of normal cyclists, makes me gay? WTF! It sure beats riding a circus bike dressed as Ronald Mc Donald! I really think you joined the wrong forum, cause I think you are obsessed with the 'mono' (mono-wheel, mono-sexual, mono-minded) side of life. Why not give a gay forum a try, or even better, like I said in my previous post, what about joining Boswill Wilkie. There you will be able to live your dream and track-stand, go backwards (while us normal cyclists are seeking ways to go forward even faster) and do some other circus tricks.
Notice to other unicyclists : I have absolutely no problem with an unicycle, think it is rather cool, but I do have an issue with a monkey riding one!
Thanks atraut for clarifying your thoughts on unicyclists in general (and thanks to the others who can see the difference between a unicyclist and a clown on a unicycle).

Can you even cycle 25km or even more a couple of days a week? Didn't think so...
Check out the
CounterBalance website. We've just finished the Freedom Revolution Unicycle Tour: 2470km over 44 days, offroad (ie: the Freedom Challenge route), on unicycles.

Enough said, full stop.

Ummm, I have absolutely no comeback for this one
