Always love an evening ride

Finally got back to riding.
I’m glad they recognize the importance of unicycling by giving me my own parking space.
Built up so much speed freewheeling, I blasted through the tree that was fallen across the path.
Took several tries because of the loose gravel but eventually made it down without a dismount.

Yesterday, I lead a Muni tour that I had organized. It was part of a big sports festival with around 8.500 participants in our city, which is the recent European capital of culture. We did 20km with around 250m in altitude and also visited 4 artworks of the art and sculpture path through the region. It ended with a big finale in the towns’ soccer arena.

In NL unicycles aren’t considered bikes, so I can ride where bikes aren’t allowed. there are always peds that don’t know the rules and complain and I love rubbing it in that the government sees unicycles as something special.

I did it again.
Ok, this picture isn’t from my latest ride. It was taken after a ride a couple weeks ago when I spontaneously decided to buy the corrugated plastic thing (2.5x1.0m). Of course I had my uni with me. Fortunately I also had a tension belt with me, which allowed me to transport the corrugated thing in a more reasonable manner. Unicycling with such a long Item in your hand or under your arm ist still quite interesting, especially if the wind gets involved. A breeze kinda feels like a storm. By holding the thing a bit more to the front or to the rear you can try and affect whether the wind steers you towards the right or the left. I didn’t UPD but today I left an old couple with a deep expression of astonishment on their faces

Is that a taxi unicycle, with those colours and black white blocks
Who says unicycles are not practical. At least a practical as tall bikes.

Colour: the fork was only available in this colour (and I love it). Chequer pattern: I was waiting for the Schlumpf to be delivered and was looking for a different solution to make my uni faster. Works like a charm! 
By the way: the yellow and black theme of the uni happens to be the colours of the local soccer club. I don’t really care, but every now and then someone notices it.
Yesterday I saw my first real world tall bike. Unfortunately, it was parked, so no rider around to ask spirited questions like “how’s the weather up there?”, “is this hard to ride?” or “does it hurt if you fall?”. And what bugs me most is that I couldn’t even ask them to do a wheelie (I was riding the une, of course). 
EDIT:
The more I think about it, the more i realise that this is in fact no joke. I couldn’t transport this unwieldy thing in my car. Nor on my scooter. Nor on one of my b!cycles. Roller skates could be an alternative to the unicycle, but I think they would be less practical overall. So yeah, unis can indeed be practical! Who would have thought that?

When we met up for todays trip we started debating who lost a wheel.
It was definitely not @r4nd1nt who had actually gained a wheel. @ruari also pleaded his innocence, with his arms strategically placed.
Well, it turned out that the wheel in question was actually not lost at all, but fixed.
The trip itself was a great one, and a story in itself. Not to speak of the 300 m we had to walk. Twice. Carrying our 36ers knee deep in mud. But that is a story for another day.
Today I want to share the bliss I felt when I at the end of the trip found what I have been looking for the last 16 years.

It was a very nice meetup and a fun ride, however this Strava screenshot tells you something about the weather†.
† While it did rain, it actually didn’t bother us much but I couldn’t resist that title after I captured these two pictures.

Indeed, they’re missing a wheel.

Just because you unicycle it does not mean you only have to have one wheel?
I cycled the extra uni on my way to meet @r4nd1nt

Nice ride by the way and I enjoyed the BSD/Slackware discussion over beer at the end.

That was fun, even more so with the uni with a brake. 
And I’m always up for a discussion of properly engineered simplicity in operating systems.
