CF uni in the Science Musium

>From the 6th May there will be one of my CF unicycles in an exhabition
about Carbon Fibre in the Science Musium in London. If you do happen to
visit the musium you will not miss it as it has the biggest bright red tyre
I could find on it. It is the frame that I used during the Polaris this year
so please don’t look too closely as there are a few scratches on it. If you
have not seen pictures of the Mk 5 CF uni I have some on:
http://home.clara.net/theatre/carbon_uni.html I now have to wait until this
weekend when the next batch go together to replace it: and it is desperate
as I want to ride with the Scarborough lot over the North Yorkshire moors
this weekend!

I knew I picked the right unicycle to be my next ride. Now I’ll have even more
to brag about!

Re: CF uni in the Science Museum

Having an office right across the street from the Science Museum, I had no
excuse not to stroll over at lunchtime and see the fabled uni.

It was impressive, and a cause for quiet pride in all uni and muni-cyclists to
see a carbon uni (with a BRIGHT red wheel) occupying pride of place in a (very
small) exhibition on the potential of carbon as a construction material. Oh,
there were a few carbon fishing rods and tennis rackets in the background, but
the kids were all riveted by the uni. The display may get more English
schoolchildren riding unis than it gets kids taking up futuristic engineering.
Frame looks pristine, even under the lights.

Congratulations to Roger and colleagues.
