iEatRice Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Got this guy's comment on my instagram and apparently he is a unicycle rider. don't know much about regular unicycles but I know some skateboarders look down to electric skateboards. As an EUC enthusiastic I felt a little offendedThis kind of guy's mindset is like EUC riders are not capable of riding regular unicycles and EUC is the only optionThe mosaic is for privacy purpose.
RetroThruster Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Doesn't surprise me. I know when I ride my e-assist mountain bike I get the stink eye from the regular bikers, these guys just don't get it.
Mono Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 He's trolling, but who cares? After all, the "real thing" (AKA unicycles) is for people who didn't catch up with modern times. It's true, riding an EUC is much easier than riding a unicycle, but who cares?
RockyTop Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Hmmmmm ???? I could have bought a " Real " unicycle at any time in my life for $78 and decided to pass. Yet I forked out $3,399 on two EUCs the day that I found out they existed ...... I still have no desire for a "real" unicycle. ...... ???? Nope! he must be wrong. However it is fun to watch Ed Pratt cross the world on one. https://www.youtube.com/user/worldunicycletour/playlists

null Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 I can unicycle, other than some balancing its just two totally different experiences. You can argue nobility as much as you want for pedal powered, its just no-where near as pleasant and fun as EUCs.

I'd rather discuss with my EUC fellows than wasting even 1 sec on this kind of guy deleted his comment instantly.
