Strange day @ work today
Krashin'Kenny
This afternoon as things slowed down at the Cadillac Dealership, I
grabbed my uni and began to practice again. I rode past a customer that
was wandering around in the shop area and dismounted. Then I went back
to my cinderblock that I use to start on and the customer walked over
and asked "can I show you how to get on that thing?" I handed the uni
to him, he put one foot on the rear pedal, popped up on the saddle and
rode a few feet. He handed it back, said "I just wanted to see if I
could still do it," smiled and walked away while I stood there
bewildered!!!!

That's not a strange day, that's a great day!
So, was he shopping for a Catera?

are certain things I guess that make it worthwhile. uh...Like what...
okay...um...For me, uh... ooh... I would say ... what, Groucho Marx, to

I wish I was so Lucky. I love to meet and interact with new
Unicyclists.

I never did find out who he was or why he was in the shop area
(Phantom unicyclist,perhaps?)

No Rendezvous here, did you mean Escalade?
He showed me no other tricks, just disappeared as fast as he
arrived!!!!!!

It has already been said many times, but bears repeating...There are
probably thousands of people out there who can ride or once did ride
unicycles, but have given it up. Some of them just need a little
prodding or serendipity to get them back into it. I was one of those
people for about 18 years until an off hand comment by my boss made me
want to take it up again.
Perhaps you, Sir Krashin', have served that purpose today.

Never thought of it like that! I may have helped rekindle an old flame,
eh????

My father in law used to deliver papers on a uni way back when. When I
gave him my uni he just got on (leaning against a vehicle to start) and
rode away. No problem. His second try he even got a freemount. He hadn't
ridden a uni in something like 25 years. I was quite amazed that he
still could. I'm hoping that this skill in a grandfather, father will
translate into skill for my daughter.
:D
