i was riding around out there for about an hour, and after 25 minutes or so i had like 2 people with cam corders taping me. got me a good laugh. though there sure is a lot of wind resistance when i’m wearing that thing.
i think i should eventually start a gallery here or something. jessica dorky unicycle adventures… weee
hehe, for halloween im thinking i’ll get a broom, saw it in half, and attach one end to the front of my seat and one to the back. i don’t know how well that will work but it’ll be fun to try!
Glad ya guys enjoyed those pics, as soon as I get more I shall start a gallery here or something. I haven’t really had the time or anyone to get pictures of me, since it’s my camera and I’m usually doing the picture taking. I finally guilted my mom into it though lol. Hopefully she’ll do it again!
Jess, an even easier way would be to just tape the broom to the bottom of the seat. If you stuck some duct tape around the front and the back of the seat, the broom would stay wuite well.
That is a good idea, however, mounting and dismounting would be a PITA. Not to mention how painful a UPD would be with the front of the broom lodged in your eye socket.

Wow, looks like you guys had a fun time!

A winter wonderland. But I thought winter was over? Apparently that depends
where you live. Jacquie and I took a ride on our bike (tandem) past some
snow last weekend, but we were wearing shorts and sunscreen. That was at
Lake Tahoe.
Max is one tough MUnier. I especially liked the pictures of the unicycles,
with technical descriptions of them when you can barely make out the color
of the frame through the snow…
Check out her web site, and reconsider that statement. She’s not cycling on your team. Still, I can see how you might be misslead- the use of steriotypical Wican iconography is usualy shuned by her ilk.
The broom, BTW, should project bristles first, and terminate at the sadle- if you want an authentic look.
Still, great pics Jess- I’ll let you know if they hit Lewis’ desk top.
thanks for all the suggestions for how i should go about attaching a broom to maria (umm, that would be my unicycle’s name). i think i’ll have to be extra careful with the UPD’s, that getting hit in the face with a broom stick thing doesn’t sound too appealing… Any idea what else i should try to wear while unicycling (that won’t get me arrested)?
I prefer driving-goggles, a nice, long white scarf, a leather airman’s cap, and white gloves. Just watch the scarf doesn’t get caught on the pedal… that never ends well for me.
