Bought this on a whim based solely on the cover/title. Turns out it’s also a great album. Nice mid 90s vibraphone jazz.
Two of my favourite things on this planet are, without a doubt, unicycling and… Donald Duck. It’s wonderful that their paths sometimes cross. The observant Duckburg fan can’t miss the unicyclist’s subtle appearances. Every now and then, one cycles past in the background. While we barely know anything about them (apart from the fact that they don’t seem to be to keen on wearing any protective gear), the only thing I know for sure, is that there must be several unicyclists in Duckburg - and probably even in Goosetown as well. They seem to never have anything to do with the story, they rarely have text and they will - probably - forever be a mystery. Maybe, somewhere in the Duck-universe, a secret Duckburg Unicycling Society exists? ![]()
While we’ll probably never know, I’ll keep an eye out to see if I can spot them!
Today, we watched Ernest & Célestine. Ernest has a unicycle in his basement and later on rides it too.
Seems to be a movie that’s worth watching (not just because of the uni).
Yes, it was really good and the second one from 2022 is even better.
Not the usual one, but I had to have a second look to realise it was actually not a uni …and that title - perfect.
For a fraction* of a second, at 4:48
*I guess that‘s why it‘s called the b!cycle song instead of the unicycle song. Still, nice that they feature a uni.
Today I was spotted by the someone who maintains a park in our town where there is a big open skateboard area. I use that to try out my unicycle tricks and today I figured I should give the 36" UW a try again (thanks @Ulkicycling ), as I hadn’t used it all winter. I had a feeling I would have the biggest success just by free-mounting it and yes I could get quite far quite quickly. Yay for muscle memory.
There were several people with bikes that road by and peeps walking their dog and 2 girls on a halfpipe started clapping when I managed to ride a circle on the asphalt area.
This owner of the park walked up to me and asked if he could take a picture, which he would post on the facebook page of the park. I told him I wouldn’t know how many miss-tries I would get before being able to mount and wow I mounted the first time and gave him enough time to take the picture:
Just came across this one…
For you to have the context, the video starts about 20s before the appearence:
My daughter sent me this photo. She saw it in Santa Fe, NM and says she’s seen him (Zato?) riding around the plaza.
I told her to stop him and ask if there are any riding clubs she could join.
I got this same mug a a gift last year.
I want one with different types of unicycles, no b*kes.
I think, both haven’t been shared here yet:
Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn of Events
Circus Maximus - The 1st Chapter
I would be doubtful if anyone had ridden a unicycle in the Circus Maximus…
