Popular Post tenofnine Posted March 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I haven't heard a term for this despite my obsession with these things and all the video and internet content out there. Also I was watching Blade Runner yesterday and thought "Wow what a fitting name for a person that rides these things. Maybe they make deliveries or transport messages...", but it's obviously already taken by a book and a movie franchise AND blading is already a term associated with roller blades and ice skates.So what would you call someone that rides these wheels? There are skateboaders, bladers, cyclist, motorcyclist, unicyclist, etc in other sports.... I think monocyclist seems to be the only name I personally think makes sense, wheelers/eWheelers sounds weird and Electric Unicyclist is a mouthful.

Popular Post Mortal Coil Posted March 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2020 'EUC rider' is the term I use amongst other EUC riders. To the ignorant masses... I dunno. 'That crazy guy zipping around on a wheel' seems to be a label that I have acquired. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess there is some alien tint there.... 👽🌍🇩🇰 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiRoller Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I generally call them 'wheelers' because really, they just ride on a wheel. Everyone else has more wheels than us.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I personally use monocyclist, bicyclist, tricyclist, and "asshole behind the wheel of a car". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Rocket 98908 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 How about Serene? My favorite definition is “Serenity is like a gyroscope that lets us keep our balance no matter what turbulence swirls around us.” Is that a state of mind worth aiming for?
