YouTube? Me Tube!

So, I thought I'd bung in a few key words in to YouTube to see what I
could find... and guess what... I found me!

Yup, that's me, riding home from work 3 months ago. (I'm the one on
the unicycle, not one of the giggling knobs in the car)
I'm kind of flattered that I made it on to YouTube without knowing it,
and kind of pleased that I can share with the rest of the world what I
put up with on my daily commute nearly every day!

Still... at least I brightened up someones day!

Those idiots personify the ignorant [censored] that laugh like dumbshits and
sing that annoying circus [censored]! I would have been so perfect an ending
had they crashed into a tree! THAT would have made my day!:p

still they found it worth their time to film you and put it on the
internet! it says nothing of clown or whatever in their description, it
even says 'man on bike' and the title is 'unicycle in london', it looks
dark so they mightve had a drink.. explaining the giggling xD

I find this hard to believe. If something like that happened to me, I'd
probably find that really offensive.

This never happens to me since I ride in the country (away from public
roads) nowadays, but I still completely fail to understand why someone
seem to attract silly comments and turn peoples' behaviour right down,
just because that someone chooses to exercise/travel with one wheel as
opposed to two. I betcha any money they wouldn't have done that to a
bicyclist.

Why exactly is semach "pleased" to show the abuse he has to
involuntarily put up with while riding? And who gave these people in
the car the right to film somebody without their permission?

Lighten up people!

I would be glad that I brought a moment of happiness to those sad, sad
peoples lives! Ha Ha!
Seriously, I choose to ride a one wheeled bike, it makes me happy, I
don't have to please anyone else!

Nice one Spencer! I wish I was as famous as you!

Rock on!

You're in public. No-one needs your permission to film or photograph
you. And that's how it should be. If you do things in public, you
should expect people might see them.

A unicycle is odd, so people notice it (and make comments). The same as
if you saw a guy on an elephant walking past, you might think to say
something, or to take a photo. Part of the joy of unicycling is that
you're giving people something to talk about, and like Ed says bring a
little interest into their day.

If you don't have the imagination to realise why someone on a one
wheeled bike, riding through London traffic is pretty funny, then you
really need to book a sense of humour check, try and look at from the
point of view of someone who doesn't unicycle.

Pre ridding I would have found a unicycle interesting, but not funny

Well it seemed pretty tame to me. The amusement seemed genuine. Nobody
shouted "Fall off, fall off".

Far worse is the forced laughter, because that's designed to be
derogatory, and the people who genuinely seem to want me to hurt
myself.

I don't care why people do it any more, I just ignore them.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, and I just love the comments on
YouTube.

GK, I'm not offended at all. Why should I be? That's just a normal
part of commuting in London. I probably clock about 3 or 4 people a
day pointing a camera phone at me, and I'm sure there's more that I
don't spot, but all in all, I take it as a compliment. Most of the
comments I hear are very positive, lots are uniquie to the person
saying them (No one else could have thought of "You've lost a wheel
mate", surely?), some are just bizarre, and only the odd ones here and
there are derogatory.
