Newbie looking for local riders to ride with, Redland Bayside area
I’m amazed at how many Australians there are here these days. I’m Andrew. I live in The Gap on the Northside (where the unicycles.com.au unicycles come from). I was actually in Redland Bay working this morning working.
You may have trouble finding riders out that far, but if you’re into muni and are up to a 45 minute drive, we try to get out for a Saturday morning group muni ride on Mt Cootha every week. I haven’t gone for several months but am going to get back into it now that I (sort of) have a muni to ride.
As for trials, there aren’t any organised rides but I’m always keen to meet up and go riding. There are also bike trials competitions with the Brisbane Bike Trials Club. They’re a lot of fun and everyone’s really friendly. I ride the trials uni in the competitions. For more info on that, go here - http://www.expressivebikes.com/ - and click on the picture of me.
It’s great to see more riders near me!

I would glaply come for a ride w/ you but cause of internet secruety I would rather not say where i live on an open forum
I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to meet up with anybody. At this stage i have enough fun riding on my own or with friends(cyclists)
But if there is any unicycle competitions or meets in Brisbane i would love to go to that probably.
Are you riding again this year, Ken? Maybe I’ll have the courage to join you this time around.

ive been riding by meself for a while and have also ridden a couple of times with 2 of my mates but they arent very advanced at ridding a uni yet and are pretty slow. im currently on the mailing list for the unicycles.com.au guys but they havent gone for a ride in a while because the main guy crashed his mtb. im happy ot go for a ride with someone weather its street, trials or muni.
cheers, keep it wheel.
Rockley is back in the saddle again. I went for a muni ride with him last weekend.
i’m not pretty slow i rode 10km with an elevation of a few hundred metres in about an hour. I’ve only been riding for 4 weeks now
Not so much a South East Brisbane thing, but I have a question…
Was it any of you who I saw riding their unicycle in The Gap today (Thursday)? Remember when three guys on motorbikes passed you? I was the one in the middle of the group.
Andrew
WHOA MY GOD, yes that was me!! i was riding down at the gap kinda near settlement road, one guy passed on what looked to be a dirt bike, the next on a better what appeared to be more of a road bike, and the third guy nodded his head at me i think !! whoa i probably looked like a gumby riding though cause i had my 170’s on
