Unicycle Mania

Just when you thought it was safe to hop on your bike - someone comes up with a new idea. Or, is it an old idea, revisited? Anyway, I discovered that even unicycles can be duplicitous - there are trick ones, touring ones (yes, touring) and my goodness only knows what other kinds. The mind boggles, but it looks fun.

It is good to see our youth are off the streets and trick cycling (20" wheels) - even if some of the language is explicit. Be warned, Emma is a lady, but the second one has got street language in it.

Unicycle championships set to rap (Explicit language).

But wait, there's more, they're off on a tour of India - single wheels strapped to their backs - what size are those wheels (26")?

And now a link to a wheely good website.

Enough!

Happy Cycling to All - whether it be one wheel, or two, or three, or four (yes, four!), be it with / without a small motor ... you get the drift ...

My son was telling me about the trend to "fixie" bikes among messengers - especially in New York. We leapt onto this conversation from one about Schwalbe "Big Apple" tyres. I needed to know more about fixies - searched the net, and voila, this appeared. Now, how cool is that? From Carolyn
