So I’m riding coast to coast in August for charity and managed to get my story to the BBC! Just thought I’d share it with you all
I appeared on BBC’s look north programe on Tuesday at about 3pm. Here is a link to the appearance and it will be on youtube once I get the DVD!

Nice dude!
I was planning the same trip a while back but it never really materialised :frowning:
congratulations on getting the story onto the BBC
completely off topic but what size is your expander? looks about a ten? :stuck_out_tongue:

Please do, because…

I’m too lazy to find out a workaround with some proxyserver or something…

Thanks man, what do you mean expander?

There was a bit in that piece when I held the camera and cycled around…very brave and a little scary cycling around with £2000 on my arm!
Also took 7 hours of filming for that 2 min clip!! Pretty good but was a little annoying that she took that quote from me, don’t want to put people off further from learning!

In your ear :slight_smile: should’ve been more clear!

Ahh funny story about that been thinking about it today! it was 10mm there, however I got some kind of infection, got a swollen eye, glands and my tunnel swelled up!
Left it a day and my ear got really sore, took my tunnel out, left it a day and its shrunk to about 3mm now!! Back to square one, will have to stretch it again now.

Very good!

I was expecting the classic opening line - “Think unicycles were just for the circus? Think again!” that TV seems to think is oh-so-original and funny, but it was actually a really good and informative item and didn’t mention clowns once. :smiley:

Oh, and good luck with the ride! Always good to see unicycling for a good cause. :slight_smile:

Funny thing was, there was a circus at the park we started at. She even filmed it for a bit and was going to do that as an opening (something I groaned about) glad she didn’t use it in the end! Think after spending 7 hours with me and listening to peoples reactions… ‘where’s your other wheel’ I think she started to understand it a lot better!
