Tawpie Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Welcome (or nearly welcome) to the insanity! I'm in the general area (Seattle, Alki) and could show off for you, but do know that until you invest a bit of time learning it won't be any fun at all for you. I'm away until next month, but ping me if you want to see one up close and personal, perhaps standing on it while clutching a dumpster. You will need to "come to the island" though, with the bridge still being broken I don't leave much. There are at least two other forum members that are closer to you than I am, perhaps they'll reach out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unipilot69 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Wish it was earlier. Work night shift. Maybe some other time. Don't work Sundays. Point Defiance is a nice street ride where 5 mile drive is blocked off to automobile traffic. Steilacoom park has a network of bike & hiking trails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang OK no worries, next time I am down to plan a Sunday ride so you can join us, rider (not on the forum) is who suggested today and time. Sounds like maybe you could show us around Tacoma spots. I moved down here from Seattle last Summer and havent rode too much yet. In Seattle I was all over the city though. and I also think they are newish to Tacoma too.

Unipilot69 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I forgot to mention Swan Creek. It has mountain bike trails and streets left over from an old neighborhood. Its part of the Tacoma parks system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totallto72 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Unipilot69, I go to the park a lot too. I don't see you there anymore. I do spend a bit of time there on the weekends. I am usually on my Mt bike. I want you to know that you are the one person that convinced me to get an EUC. I do practice at the park too. So, look forward to seeing you there. See ya soon...

Unipilot69 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I've been busy with life recently. I do plan on riding more in the park. I broke my wrist on September 1st last year riding the south east trails in the park. The trail went from steep to cliff. I rode it out to about half way down then the unicycle shot out from under me and I landed on my left wrist. No wrist guards worn that trip. I usually wear wrist, knee and elbow guards. This trip was a quick trip to the supermarket. "That'll learn me". I've been partially commuting with the euc. I've been trail riding a few times this year but not as much as last.

totallto72 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 meepmeepmayer, I see that you are in Deutschland. I was there for about six years in my youth. My dad was stationed Rammstein AFB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totallto72 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Unipilot69, If is see you, I will make a big deal about it so you will notice me. I am hoping that when you do I will be riding my EUC. I like the color red so i will be flashing it. Helmet, gloves, shoes, etc. Stay healthy and thanks for the wrist tip I will keep it in mind!

meepmeepmayer Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 You can "mention" people by typing @ and then begin typing their name and choose them from the menu that appears. This way they get a specific notification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
