very nice cruising area swooplng around
What unicycle is this? I recently bought a decal of a unicycle with that style frame and I’ve been trying to find info about it. It’s such an interesting design.
The old Nimbus Nightrider 36" - been around for years, with the early ones having cotterless cranks. I love the look of the frame design (not so much the handlebar). You can see (mostly old) posts on here about them - eg this from way back when on trading post:

G36er Outing - this thing is ACE 
And no, as is my wont I didn’t try high gear but enjoyed getting to know the new tyre, saddle and bar and finding my 36er muscles again after a decent break from riding this size.
The Vee tyre at a hair over 50PSI is fast rolling gold, that inspires confidence - and I hit the speed and cadence where I could have well benefited from using 1:1.5.
High Gear Practice Day awaits - when the elder mini-human is at nursery

I wish I could get one of those VEE rubber, they look way classier than the nightrider.

You can get one from Mad4One here
And they say they ship world wide so hopefully they can get it to your location. It is however a bit pricey.
I got my one from them a little while back and I can confirm this tyre is a lot better than the older model I have from 2017ish.
Easy to mount on the Dominator2 rim and once the pressure is up it clicks in very nicely. Different feel at lower pressures and perhaps some camber issues there, but at 50ish psi it is spot on in my view.

Got some nice riding in last week along the Truckee River (paved) and near Prosser Reservoir (single track) where the Donner Party had one of their camps. Nice riding and beautiful weather.

Maybe I can get away with posting about a bike ride, if it involves visiting @Becky98 on her unicycle trip through Europe. 
The timing happened to work out that I was house-sitting for my parents a reasonably short distance away from the European divide trail that she is following. So I packed my hammock, tarp and stuff on my mom’s bike, rode 80 km to meet Becky on the trail (or more precisely the supermarket to get supplies for the day). Had a strong headwind on a bike with a very non-aero position, so trying to be there on time actually turned into a decent workout. Then I accompanied her for 45 km more on that day until we found a good camping spot and after 20 or so km with her the next day I rode back home.

Seriously impressive cycling from both of you in the circumstances! I’m loving the thought of meeting you two on the trail in the middle of nowhere - world class unicyclist on bespoke best-of-everything (except possibly the brake disk ) unicycle, followed by a guy on his mum’s shopping bike with his supplies in the front basket! Thanks for the photos and story

Completed a round trip on Shanghai’s East Bund cycling track last night. 50 kilometers of awesomeness!
The photo was taken at the south terminal of the track, named the “south wall”, where in Chinese there is a proverb: don’t turn around until you hit the south wall!

Hi Finn, I’ve brightened up the picture a bit so you can see @Becky98 better. And I put some fresh fruits
and vegetables in your basket for you. 
Greetings Georg

Finally had time to try out a longer ride I’ve been considering for a while.
A ~ 25km tour around a nearby lake. My longest ride so far (I usually ride ~10km).
Also was the first real ride with my second handlebar built out of standard bike parts (inspired by this first attempt), replacing my previous M4O/ISM combo on this uni.
Some sections were not suitable for 29"/114mm/slicks at 45psi so to make it UPD free and with less walking I would have to take a slight different route next time.

From the top of Operahuset (Oslo Opera House), looking out over Oslofjorden. It is a pretty cool building. You can actually cycle up to the roof.

Strictly speaking you are not allowed to cycle up there but 
… don’t tell anyone.
I also filmed my reflection in some shop front windows as I cycled through town.

It was quite tempting to do so, the time I was in Oslo. But I just did the sensible thing and walked up and down the building
