Reactions to Unicyclists

I've been following with some interest the discussion of the reactions people
get when they're unicycling.

I get the standard (and all too frequent) "where's your other wheel?" etc.
etc., along with some genuine interest "How hard is it to ride?" "How did you
learn?" etc.

Unfortunately, I also get some less friendly reactions, such as obscene
gestures and less pleasant comments like "What the ---- is that?" or "What the
---- are you doing?" (fill in your favorite four letter word - the actual
selection being more or less unimportant)

Do other people get these reactions too?
