"Thats not fair". I did not reply to the rider cause i was simply dumbfounded, i kept riding and shaking my head... If the hill is steep, like <10 mph for a bicyclist, I'll give them a push up the hill. Just tell them not to hit the brakes. I never ask, I just do. 100% of bitchy bicyclists stop complaining when I've done that. 100%. There is no faster way to convert bicyclists than by pushing a bicyclist up a hill 15-20 mph. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This in NYC, where people have seen it all. I came by a family guy with his toddler; he started parroting to the little one with the apparent intention to teach him a new word: "HOVERBOARD", "HOVERBOARD..." I didn't wanna set him straight because for the toddler who was of the age just learning to talk it probably wouldn't have made much difference anyway. Or the father for that matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrace technology. Just own it. It's also good to say - "Ok, let's exchange - try my wheel, I'll try your bike" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RockyTop Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 A teen age boy (maybe 17 years old) yelled “I want to be you when I grow up!” as I passed by at 30 mph. I was riding while negotiating foot traffic and passed a college student pushing a nice electric scooter. He looked at me and said “ I feel really lame right now” other: ”How is that even possible?!” “Wow! You’re the man! “ ”Wait! ...... What year is it? did I step in a time warp?” 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingfelder Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It's kind of charming that a 17 year old boy would even consider himself not grown up yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Muysoms Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I got yelled at by a cyclist: "That is not healthy!" while we were driving on a bike path next to the road. I keep wondering what he would scream at the drivers of the cars that were passing by. I don't ride my euc as a workout, neither did I with my bicycle. I just want to get from point A to point B. What's wrong with that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elder Meat Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Not on my EUC (I'm too new for that), but I've encountered a couple rabid bicyclists in public. They'd get angry and yell at car drivers with bikes on their roof. I think their rationale was drivers suck but if you have a bike and drive then you're a class traitor and are even worse.

I pack my Z10 into my i3; fortunately it is not visible to the public, but I am guessing I would get double hating compared to carrying a bicycle.

Circuitmage Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Still the # 1 question to me is "How much is that thing?" C'mon people...I sold my motorcycle to do this...how 'bout some sacrifice here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send it over if you can once completed if you don't mind sharing. Thinking of doing it as well. The ultimate would be if we can connect the audio to wheel log and have the pitch change depending on speed and also stop when the wheel stops (red light etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean eRide.ie Community Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Some already mentioned here: How much is it? (Many times) Do a wheelie! (Many times) Sometimes I just put my hands to the front and lift them as if I had an imaginary front wheel Are you from the future? (Once or twice) Wow, that's so cool! Lazy bastard! There is a bit of everything haha. EDIT: My 100th post! Nice! It took me a long time! Edited October 26, 2018 by Jean Dublin 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermes Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 When I first started out, I was riding a Gotway V2. At that time I heard a lot of comments. Now with the MSX, all I hear is “Whoa...!” as I blaze into the distance 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_from_NZ Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I like to pretend I'm rowing a boat while i pass cyclists up some of the hills on my commute. Usually gets a laugh. Had one guy tell me that it "wasn't fair", i told him to try rowing this thing up a hill and see how easy it is! Then he laughed as i left him in my dust.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziiten Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I was riding behind a woman on bicycle and she turns her head and asks how fast does that thing go. I say 45 km/h. Pretty fast, she replies. After a while she turns her head again and says "That's a good mid body workout". I guess she referred to the balancing effort and the use of core muscles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
