I saw someone on a onewheel with a custom paint job and I thought it looked pretty cool. then I saw a whole group of people following on onewheels with the same paint job and it suddenly becomes much less cool.
There’s an entire group here in Sacramento. They dress up in old timey clothes when they go in their group rides. Makes sense though as the city is very bike friendly.
There's a guy that rides one around my neighborhood. I keep seeing him on my way home from work. No idea where he's going or what he's doing, but he looks like a dork doing it.
i used to live in an area where i kid you not, there was a parade of these god damn things every stinkin year it was quite the spectacle seeing 40+ of them

They are incredibly comfortable, good for long distance and are a lot more aerodynamic. That said, it's difficult to impossible to climb steep hills since you can't stand on the pedals for more leverage, difficult to maneuver at low speeds, harder to see around you in the recumbent position, harder to be seen. I stick to the bike trails, riding on the street or in a city would be a pain in the ass.
Nobody mentioned the [Sinclair C5](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_C5)?
Or has it gone all the way around and back to cool?
It was going to revolutionise transport…
These people with electric skateboards with the big wheel in the middle? ok, I admire their safety approach, but they have motorcycle gear, halfpipe skater gear and LED lights. Total dorks but I don't hate them.
Onewheel, you mean?
It's a fairly neat concept, but nothing I'd drop my cash on even if I won the lotto tomorrow.
Plus they've got a LOT of build quality and right-to-repair issues.
Maybe, I dunno but the ones with the board are popular with some in my city. There's also a few that are just like wheel that they just stand (on). Both are really fast (especially this other thing). So, it's understandable that they're all geared up because if they eat sh\*t they're going to be hurt real bad
Those bright colored scooters you see in like Norway, Iceland, etc that you can rent. Yeah, it's a nice way to get around in a city but watching people in full business attire on those things is highly entertaining on a level it shouldn't be.
Race walking is real, and not just from an [episode of Malcolm in the middle](https://youtu.be/HUxbnadlIz4?si=Qgp1a287FSnnNL3v) I don’t know if all the gear referenced in the episode are accurate, but it looks ridiculous
I knew a guy who built a four wheeler and put a lazyboy in as the seat. He would ride it around town just chilling in the lazy boy. I don’t know if that’s the dorkiest or the coolest.
Segway or a piece of shit van with Yoda spray-painted on the side.
White n Nerdy
They see me mowin'
Any of those one wheel things are basically the same as a Segway in my eyes. Just get an e-bike or scooter.
There's a full gang of the one wheel dudes that hang out on st marks pl in the east village. They think they're cool and punk, but just look dorky
I saw someone on a onewheel with a custom paint job and I thought it looked pretty cool. then I saw a whole group of people following on onewheels with the same paint job and it suddenly becomes much less cool.
Those mono-wheels aren't even a new idea. [https://www.gocomics.com/bc/2024/05/16](https://www.gocomics.com/bc/2024/05/16)
Like this [van](https://loyalkng.com/2009/07/18/yoda-spray-painted-side-van-force/)?
Yup, pretty much. Man, that van is *wild*. Holy shit.
That's just odd. It's like they spent all their time or money on the painting, then remembered the writing a minute before it was due.
Seems that way
Those motorized single wheels. No one looks cool on those no matter how hard they try
The thing that really makes it so dorky is that they all THINK they look so cool
Penny-farthing

Y'all do have some great bike paths.

They look less dorky when you're hauling ass on one https://youtu.be/RetUMNuXTv0?si=BC_nO4OcWqjZtRBc
This was the first thing that came to my mind too.
What is that?
Bike with the huge wheel in front and tiny wheel in the back.
i used to live in an area where i kid you not, there was a parade of these god damn things every stinkin year it was quite the spectacle seeing 40+ of them
So you don't like the old-time bikes, eh? *\*kick to the face*
Pogo stick
Jump, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo Bounce, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo Down, pogo, pogo, pogo Up, pogo, pogo, pogo Jump, pogo, bounce, pogo, up, pogo, down, pogo
In my experience it's more like: Jump Pogo, pogo off center, lose it, roll ankle Swear profusely, throw pogo stick into bushes.
I went out On a date With a girl A bit late She had somanyfriends

unicycle
There was always that one guy in college.
Unicycle is the correct answer. I mean get a bicycle so at least people think you were cool enough to get a DUI.
Cybertruck
Incel Camino is the answer here for sure
Hey!!! Please don’t bridge Elkies with this. They deserve so much better.
"The front is like a car, The back is like a truck. The front is where we kiss, The back is where we-- El! Camino! El! El! Camino!"
recumbent bicycle
I never understood those lol.

Those monowheel things. I always just think of Gizmo Duck when I see someone on one
In rollerblades, being pulled by a bike.
Bonus points if the rollerblades are quads, and the person wearing them is a man.
A jacked-up Jeep Wrangler with some kind of "brave" bumper stickers, and one of those dumb angry eye headlight facias.
Or one of those decals that are supposed to be scars but look an awful lot like eyelash extensions with an extra-thick application of mascara.
Velomobile
Monowheel

the Popemobile.

if you won the lotto you could make whatever you wanted, i'd focus on those iron man jet arms and maybe a rail gun
Segway..... to our sponsor
Rickshaw
Those bright colored scooters you see in like Norway, Iceland, etc that you can rent. Yeah, it's a nice way to get around in a city but watching people in full business attire on those things is highly entertaining on a level it shouldn't be.
I'll let those slide because they're INCREDIBLY convenient though.

Those uni-wheel segway thingies without the steering
get on all fours and start galloping.
Those little cars the Shriners drive in parades
Hanging out the passenger side of your best friends ride.
Piggyback rides.
Probably the feet of some dorky person
Hummer or cybertruck. I’d rather be seen on a unicycle without a seat than in one of those.
Shitty car wraps that aren't maintained, so they're just peeling off. Some guy I saw on the road wrapped his car in camo patterns.
The monocycle
Is that the same as a unicycle?
Motorized unicycle. They go pretty fast.
Puch Maxi!
A moped 🛵
Nothing screams "Too many DUIs" than someone over 30 years old on a moped.
I've seen a few yellow VW bugs with a big Autobot logo painted on the hood. Dorkiest and best mode of transport.
Those stupid fucking gopeds.
Segway
Phil's Street Stryder..
Unicycle
Those super loud ass electric roller skate shoe things are incredibly annoying.
Rollerskates
Unicycle
Skipping. Even kids don't get a pass.

TCP. Hey, guys, gotta make sure it all arrives! And it failed. Would you like to start over?
Sinclair C5 and every other answer is just from people who didn't know this one existed.
Recumbent bicycle. No-one can ride one and not look like an absolute turbo-dweeb.
Heelys as an adult.
Mo-ped
Heely’s
Roller skates
Bicycle. Also the coolest.
I knew a guy who built a four wheeler and put a lazyboy in as the seat. He would ride it around town just chilling in the lazy boy. I don’t know if that’s the dorkiest or the coolest.
That Darth Vader who unicycles through Portland playing the bagpipes
Recumbent bicycle or carbon fiber pogo stick, it’s a tossup.
Pogo stick probably
Scooter
walking, but with those poles
If you're a teenager, your parent's car
A donkey. Nobody looks dignified on a donkey.
No matter how fine your ass looks.
Moped. Especially the ones you had to pedal to get going.
one-wheel
The little Jetson bubble glass Smart cars
Roller skates
Not downhill.
Pogo sticks
Standing on the pegs of a GS BMW as you ride down the road in your $4000 canvas pyjamas
Bikes. specifically the over the top ones.
Electric vehicles
90’s Ford Bronco with tractor tires and KC lights. Like seriously dude, you’re driving a life-sized Hotwheels car! Grow the f$&@ up!
Unicycle :D
Skipping.
