Hey have you thought of trying to contact that group of riders down there to see if you can join a group ride? I think they are called the Wheelies.

Rehab1 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 @Hunka Hunka Burning Love Wow your original topic 'Have You Ever Encountered An EUC Rider in the Wild? may take the prize for the most bifurcations ever! Short review on how we all strayed from your original topic. @Hunka Hunka Burning Love I would have hoped to at least see some others joining this activity after riding around and being seen by many people. Yet nope, here it seems we are a rare, endangered breed. @Pasi : Besides organized, pre-planned group rides, I have seen 4 people from car window. @Antshark : I never really noticed anyone on an EUC... until I bought one. @langhamp I've never seen another rider in the wild but I do ride with another guy and his son. @Marty BackeTwice in the last month. @Acturbo : I have seen a total of 0 in my area. @LanghamP : I see a great number of Segways as they have several daily tours. @Tilmann : On any given sunny day in Berlin, there's a pretty good chance to find a fellow EUC rider on Tempelhofer Feld (former airfield). @kasenutty: I've never ran into, or even seen a wheeler in the wild. @fearedbliss : I've seen some people here in NYC when I was walking around close to my job Bifurcation #1 (My Bad..Sorry) @rehab1: Your mysterious Flame is scaring fellow Canadians away from the sport! I would change your NB1's color to a pretty pastel pink @Hunka Hunka Burning Love: LOL yeah it's weird. Like everyone else I'm getting comments like that's super cool, so sick Bifurcation #2 (yes you did it too Marty) @Marty Backe: Hey Kim, Welcome to the forum. I didn't realize that you were from Orange County. We do some rides down that away too. @Kimosabi Hey Marty, Yes! I'm close by and yes, you remember well. I still have the sloooooow INMOTION Getting back on track @LanghamP: 300-600 dollars is the price of a bicycle that will last a few years at least, and good bicycles start at 1100 easily. @meepmeepmayer: I can assure you, it's simply that nobody knows these things exist. @eddiemoy I think the difficulty learning to ride one of these things is the number one barrier to entry. @Jonathan Tolhurst In 2 years of riding I have only come across two other people when riding Bifurcation #3 @dpong: I received my brand new KingSong KS16S on Monday @Kimosabi I decided to go with the kingsong 14S although I'm strongly debating about going with the 16S. @KingSong69: PLEASE!!! Forget the IM V3Pro!!! Getting back on track again @Michael Vu: I saw a guy riding in Dallas on the sidewalk on a KS-16A over a year ago @Roue Libre Approximately 4 so far, all in Brussels Bifurcation #4 @fearedbliss: I don't like Casey Neistat. @kasenutty: How come? Give us the dirt Diplomacy at it's Best @Hunka Hunka Burning LoveWelcome nerd, er, fair maiden, to the forums! Thank you for totally derailing my thread! Just kiddin'! @LanghamP: That's why I like this forum. It feels like a proper place without females. @Kimosabi: He's pretty daring. @Marty Backe: I did tell @Kimosabithat we ran a very nice, non-threatening, forum here. As nice as I've seen actually. I'm hoping not to have to eat my words @Hunka Hunka Burning Love: I was just joking. Derail away! (You won't be the first one here that has done that @MaxLinux: I didn't notice earlier that @Kimosabiis female! I'm happy about it; we need more female EUC riders! @Kimosabi: Hahahaha. Hunka Hunka Burning Love and Marty...you two are a hoot. Love it!? @meepmeepmayer: Guys please use "woman", not "female" (as a noun). "Female" is nice guy speak and creepy. @Hunka Hunka Burning Love: So "babe, chick, and sweetums" are probably a no-no too hey? Aw man rules rules rules. Back on track again! Briefly! @The Fat Unicyclist: Never in New Zealand, but one in Tel Aviv and one In Vienna. Both times I was on foot, so couldn't intersect with them. Bifurcation #5 @KalSeth: catch me if you can on your slow ass Wheel It is so interesting to see how we all can deviate from the original topic (including me) and then Segway into other discussions along the way.

meepmeepmayer Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I had to do a double take when I saw the optics of this post Also, you forgot the bifurcation from your mentioning the bifurcations - very meta. Let me add another two: In-theme offtopic is a general "problem" with this forum - or maybe just how a discussion just is? Lots of valuable info hidden in threads where you wouldn't know from the title. What's it with quoting full, long posts (possibly with pictures) right in the next post after?

Sorry for the long post I just thought it was interesting. I have been guilty as hell many times. It is sometimes tough to stay on topic. We should all be careful quoting full posts with photos but sometimes when the original topic is off subject for a long time it is important to perform a 360 and refresh the topic especially for those members just entering the discussion.

meepmeepmayer Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 By optics, I meant all the blue mentions. Thought the forum had gone crazy first. I have no problems with your post, it is quite a funny analysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a weird habit here that makes reading through a thread harder. As in my quote above, I usually to just leave the part I'm responding to. It's less confusing that way and you don't have to scroll and eventually click through pages even though very little new content got added. We also tend to just quote every chance we get here instead of simply responding, right after something is written, with our own comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalSeth Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I Deny any and all topic derailment. I would be considered an "in the wild" sighting by OP.

Tilmann Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Update (proudly staying on topic ): encountered 2 ninebot one riders in Linz (Austria) on separate occasions. The second one approached me to enquire about the legal situation in Germany and that silly license plate on my wheel. Turns out, while ewheeling is technically illegal in Austria, it's generally tolerated. That second ninebot rider clocked 7000km without any police hazzle.

I think they are called the Wheelies. @The Fat Unicyclist: The odds for any EUC chance encounters in Singapore are pretty good, especially on "Car Free Sundays" (so much for staying sort of on topic), but: I positively recommend you getting in touch with The Wheelies beforehand. Join https://www.facebook.com/groups/thewheelies/ (closed group) and state your travel plans. They are easily the friendliest and most hospitable bunch on the planet. And Singapore is practically made for EUC riding. Just don't bring any diet plans - they're doomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Sorry to Jeff once again - seriously not intending to pick on you, but this camera angle is not one I would pick. Noooot that there's anything wrong with it if you're into that angle. Totally fine with it. I mean it kind of grows on you like you're standing on my chest while I am lying on a powered skateboard or something.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hey, men do like jiggling women bits so women might be into jiggling men bits? Fair's fair I guess. Oh oh too far maybe? <reactivates mind filter> Just ignore this post. Actually it was a different viewpoint that you normally don't see so it's all good. I'm all into the unconventional way of thinking so meh it grows on you. I did see a plane fly by. Kinda relaxing. Just glad he wasn't wearing a kilt or something. That's all.
