Always something new around the corner
I've been riding the local bike trails 3 or 4 days a week for several years. I thought I had seen about every kind of weird and erratic human behavior that might occur on a bike trail.
But today I was amazed! As I came around a corner there was a lady riding down the trail on a unicycle while juggling three indian clubs. She was doing a pretty good job of it too. The only other thing I have ever seen that came close to that was the girl who spread her beach towel across the trail and was sun-bathing.
Not a rant about trails - I enjoy them, tolerate the nonsense, and ride on - but today was unique.

Last time I hiked up Pikes Peak with my buddy, a couple of unicyclists passed us on their way down Barr Trail.

This is a little old and out of season. However I was going at a decent clip down the trail one beautiful fall day and saw two women off to the side taking pictures. Wasn't sure what they were taking pictures of, but a second later I was skidding to a halt.
They had buried their kids in a pile of leaves on the trail!

I came across a couple taking dirty pictures in an underpass a couple years ago lol. Last year I was passed by a guy going up hill on a unicycle. And I had the crap scared out of me by a guy on one of those single wheeled powered skate boards last week, the guy looked like an alien lol
