Unicycle Spotting / Sighting Thread

Yeah, goes great with that “splatter” :roll_eyes: :smiley:

He’s definitely climbing without the use of a handlebar,
He has a handlebar or has not, hard to interpret. … …:smiley:

in french “handlebar” is another name for “mustache” … is that what you had in mind?:smiley: (I think it is a lady with braided hair on a Muni)

The first inhabitants of Sveden were only practising Freestyle:

Keep Clam

Museum of History and Industry Seattle.

No, there’s no maximum crank length, no matter which wheelsize you have …

Found a pic where the Boynton Bicycle Railroad (single rail train) is named Unicycle and Single-Rail Track Railroad

Hmmm that uni has a chain on it… Do you reckon it’s geared?

I think the chain goes to a motor beneath the display. The motor turns the unicycle wheel, which makes the legs go up and down, and the big clammy-looking thing probably does some kind of movement.

Ahhh I see now, thanks for that :slight_smile:

Spotted this beer in Harris Teeter… will have to go back and get some for our next rides in NC!

Great find! I’m really looking forward to it.

But I might have to go grab a six for myself before then.

Sad news:

I had looked in several nearby grocery stores including three Harris Teeters before going online for more info and I never saw it; or any Hi-Wire beers for that matter, despite the claim that they’re available all across NC.

(Snide side comment: It seems that brewers like to boast of drinkability when describing their beers. Shouldn’t we be able to assume that?)

I think it’s a code word for “makes you want to drink a lot of them!” which is taboo in the promote-responsible-drinking era. “Session” beers are the newest version of it.

None of them result in much rideability as far as I can tell; I seem to lose all uni skills after a beer or two.

Thanks for the clarification. :slight_smile:

With boutique beers at $10 for a six-pack, I’m one and done no matter what they call it.

Saw a Unicycle in one of the latest American Pickers Programs…was just on to of a pile of stuff in a container…they didnt buy it…it was just there in the background.

Front page of today’s local paper. No story accompanying it just the caption. Assume it’s TCUC in last nights parade.

So you don’t have to do what I just did, the caption: “Riders on extra-tall unicycles steady each other during the St. Paul Winter Carnival’s Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade on Saturday night in downtown St. Paul. The carnival concludes today.” Looks like a good time!

Yep! That was Twin Cities Unicycle Club. The giraffe riders look terrified because the cobblestones were pretty treacherous. The tiny rider in the pink sleeves on the left is my 8 year-old daughter. I’m back there somewhere, but out of sight.
