    I did this in undergrad. Campus security stopped me, I argued, he called his supervisor on the radio. We chatted for a while, and turns out he was from Venezuela, had studied what I was studying, and was an overall pleasant character. Supervisor response was basically, “wow college kids think they’re really clever don’t they?”, and I was asked, politely, to cease.

    I felt like a bit of a dick after that.

      Well you’re at a college. If you want people to follow rules, be more specific, or don’t get pissed when they follow the stated rules but you feel like the rules should include something else.

      If the concern is liability, then don’t just say “don’t skateboard” and get mad when people bike through the area. You said no skateboards. This is not a skateboard. Rules=followed.

      If anyone feels like chirping in with “you know what they meant” that really doesn’t matter. Not to me, not to people who don’t understand that sort of thing, not to courts.

      Besides, I feel like clarity is some thing you should strive for at a facility for higher education.

        The simple answer would have been a sign that stated “Walking Only”.

          The concern seems to be people running into pedestrians. So a unicycle might actually be okay since they’re not fast.

        The sign should say “no pedants.”

    The disappointment if they don’t continue increasing the length of the sign to account for every possible scenario

    There’s something I don’t understand that maybe other unicycle riders can explain to me. I can ride a unicycle and I can even juggle while riding one, but I cannot go more than 200 feet or so before my thighs completely burn out and I fall over. How do people use these things as actual forms of transportation?

      Its been a long time since I unicycled but in grade school we rode in parades. There were some that you could coast with but my cheapo one required the pedals moving at all times.

        How does coasting on a unicycle work? Isn’t it pedalling the main thing that helps you with balance? Or is it something like manualling a normal bike (i.e. a wheelie without pedalling)?
