I just saw a Canadian friend today and unicycling came up. He told me that he knew two guys back in Toronto who were walking at night when they were harrassed by some usavoury types, and were subsequently chased down an alley.
Then out of nowhere this guy on a unicycle appears and the attackers run away. The mysterious unicyclist then salutes our friends, and rides off into the night.
Does this ring a bell with anybody?
Isn’t it the coolest? It would be so great if someone else knew more!
lol do you think the next superhero is gonna be uniman? That would be quite interesting. I could so see a little boy purchasing his first ediition of the comic book.
Greg Irvine is my Unicyclist Superhero! We’re gonna go ride tomorow – RIGHT GREG??? we better because you promised.
It’s forsure now… we need to try and put together a uniman. it must be done. course we need to think of a name and a look. what the powers are… costume… etc.
Well for starters, Uniman’s gonna be riding a unicycle lol. Maybe he can fly around on it. Like all super heros, they need to fly. He can have a cool belt too, but have nuts and bolts in it incase his unicycle falls apart bahaha.
It wouldn’t fly…a flying unicycle would be silly. He’ll be like Batman…or Spiderman. And he would be able to hop buildings in a single bound…or maybe two, if he needs a prehop, for those really tall buildings.
Bear has a mind for super heros and I have learned from him.
The seat and would have to double as something useful, potentially as a source of projectiles.
Rapidly spinning the wheel would generate some kind of forecfield. When a spin is done at precisely the correct speed while the wheel is rotating, the addition of the rotational field and the revolutional fields would result in some kind of energy burst from the in-phase fields.
The pedals of course have blades that can be popped out for slicing the legs of and tires villians.
The spokes double as sending and receiving antennae.
