You must be wrong, Terapined says it 'sucks'. I'm sure he's never eaten at a food truck in his life, he'd rather bring his own stuff and make bologna and mustard sandwiches rather than eat the gourmet food truck fare.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

My mother made me eat those for lunch hundreds of times. I think she might have put some mayo on too. Wonder bread, of course. Not an official warning, but be careful of the "personal insult" line. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

It's insulting to say somebody eats sandwiches? How so, I don't get it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I wasn't sure what they were called at the time, but I saw lots of "one wheels." I'd say I saw them about a dozen times, but may have seen the same one multiple times. Here is a video of what I'm referring to. Did not see any other electric unicycles. Direct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owlB85rqcQM I'd like to try one sometime. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Pretty pricey 5-7 MILE RANGE $1,399 12-18 MILE RANGE $1,799 https://onewheel.com/products/onewheel-xr My problem would be that the OneWheel weighs 25 lbs, and this beautiful foldable electric bike with 10 mile range weighs 21 lbs for about $800. I can only see the one wheel as a recreational vehicle. It doesn't make a lot of sense as a commuting vehicle (compared to a foldable electric cycle). |

terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11786 | Looking at the Wiz's videos and other videos online I'll probably never go to BM To me the dust problem is a real issue for me Bonnaroo also had a dust problem during dry weather It gets in my eyes and I am really bothered by it Maybe my eyes are over sensitive to dust. I prefer small festivals, say 10k The Spirit of the music Park and campground does it for me Beautiful spot next to the Suwanee river I camp in the woods :-) Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I really like this short video, it shows the tranquility, the happiness, the creativity and of course the celebrants all decked out immaculately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot-6zaqfmlc |
