On another thread someone pointed out searching on twitter (http://twitter.com). I don't tweet or follow anyone, but reading unicycle tweets is kind of fun! (at least to me)

Have you seen any good unicycle tweets?

Here's a few to start, but I bet there are some much better ones out there:

/ OMG, JUST SAW A GUY RIDING A UNICYCLE. I think I'm in love. LOL :).

kaitelizsan
there is a unicycle outside the art department. I love this place

bobmi
A man just rode up to campus and locked his unicycle up. I love that.

The best one I found:

wralph: To the douchey guy riding the unicycle home everyday: no one thinks you're cool. Also, you're really improving! #Ottawa

Two that I liked.



"KatLaurel just saw a homeless transvestite riding a unicycle... and i'm not on any drugs."

Makes me wonder: Anyone we know?


"rallendorf So many towns have a crazy unicycle guy except mine. I'd do it, but that back-n-forth wobble they do at red lights looks so goofy and unhip."

I'm pretty sure most of us here are that guy. Who knew there was a website for it? Is there also a union? An overarching governing body that handles city assignments?

Some of those are cute, but mostly this thread reinforces my lack of interest in Twitter.




Twitter is for people who think you have to look hip when waiting for lights (or when riding a unicycle).

alexstajos: There is a man in a pink unitard outside my apartment, dancing provocatively on a unicycle to a live performance of the Rocky theme song.

2 hours ago
brettwas: Pink unitard, silver scarf, on a unicycle. That just happened.

Think it's the same guy? The world may never know.

DoctorBiobrain People who travel by unicycle are cooler than the rest of us.

Damn straight!


richmerino So Oscar just saw an old guy in a pink full body suit with a hole in his crotch which exposed his d**k and he was riding a unicycle with a rainbow scarf

Hmmmmmmmm. Hope that wasn't anyone of you all.

Annie_GS: We were chilling on the porch a while ago and a drunk frat guy rode past us down the street on a unicycle. It was something to see.

Talented! :)

There sure are a lot of tweets with unicycle and campus (http://twitter.com/#search?q=unicycle%20campus) in them.

Glad the unicycle population is getting edjamacated.

kurtisfranklin: What's it called when a unicorn menstruates? A unicycle?

Don't quit your day job Franklin.

On the topic of jokes, those witty twitter-heads really love the ever popular Chuck Norris unicycle joke (http://twitter.com/#search?q=unicycle%20norris).

I wonder if Chuck Norris CAN ride a unicycle. Hmmm.

Okay, someone needs to fess up:
"Okay so there is a kid outside my store playing a tuba while riding a unicycle..."

bjlange: Just saw a guy with an off-road unicycle. Ponder that.

The guy on the off-road unicycle just read your tweet. Ponder THAT!

The world already knows Pink Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Man).

Not sure about this one though.

Haha. I'm that guy for sure. I've actually had a person recognize me off my unicycle. At the bike shop I go to they know as the kid with the unicycle pretty much.

Wiki - Twitter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter) : "Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications."

It looks like everyone and their brothers are reporting about the Honda unicycle thing (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80956). It's clogging up the twitter. There are like 10 pages of them.

Still, here are a few non-Honda ones I liked:

acwatkins15: just saw a guy riding down 93 on a unicycle. life is complete
Perhaps it's time for another t-shirt. "Complete your life: Unicycle"

myk31: jesus christ on a unicycle. wow. wow. wow. wow...........
I'm thinking this might be a case of mistaken identity. But who knows? Those 4 wows are mighty convincing.

It might have been me. I've recently been told that my current hair style is Christlike.

I'm not that guy, I never idle at streetlights. Still stands with hops as needed I find easier/more impressive ;)

I wonder if the folks on the unicyclist.com forum will see this and post it in their unicycle tweets thread

Saw this one the other day... Apparently he's on the forums, should I oust his twitter name? ;) (Mine's "uninick" ;))

After taking into account existing threads, the growth rate of unicycling, and the expected collapse of the internet in 2042, I'd estimate 15,932.

And don't you mean JC?

mwm Just now, a unicycle guy and a segway guy passed each other on the sidewalk in front of me and had a little moment. It was pretty adorable.

Hmm... anyone else thinking of great Honda U3-X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_U3-X) TV commercial?

Your unicycle hit my segway! Your segway hit my unicycle! :D

"I almost got run over on a crowded sidewalk by a girl on a unicycle. Shouldn't they be required to ride in the streets like bicyclists?"

I have to say though that 70% of people walking behind a unicyclist likes to exaggerate about being nearly run over by us.
