Cheaper than getting a vasectomy I suppose.

I’ve ridden a unicycle since I was 12. Got bored and found one at a garage sale. Spent a few weeks teaching myself how to ride. Mastered it, saved up lawn mowing money and bought an expensive Volkscycle unicycle. Later taught myself how to juggle while riding. I was left alone as a child to amuse myself.

I’m 57 and still own that unicycle, I take it out once a year and ride it just to prove to myself I’m still young. It gets scarier and scarier every time. I think I may be done.

All my years of riding I never had the urge to bounce up and down onto anything. Riding in a straight line occasionally juggling some torches was all the excitement I needed.

Reminds me of the kind of stuff Danny MacAskill does on bikes:

I must have banged my head too many times, it took me several minutes staring at your post to get the Heinz connection. I’m going to use that the entire year.

remember kids, it’s the rider, not the bike

(also proof that disc brakes are not really needed on a road bike)

Martyn Ashton is a legend…

But if you ride anywhere that gets frequent precipitation, do long mountain descents, want to avoid road grit wear on your nice carbon wheels… disc brakes are great. I will never go back to rim brakes on a road bike again…

My trials bike was disc on the front hydraulic rim on the back. Best combo of modulation and instant rim locking out there.

“Hot unicyclist” is something I never thought I’d type.

I forgot about this guy! I remember the first time I watched that thinking: a) how the heck are those carbon wheels holding up to this madness?, and; b) cheese’n’rice that’s amazing/scary. Good callout!

One time I was unicycle-commuting across campus and a girl called from an upstairs window “You get me so HOT!” I didn’t pursue the matter.

UK urban unicyclist

Meanwhile USA country unicyclists only jump onto stacks of manure or tractor tires.
