I wouldn't describe that as a ridiculous ride - maybe unique...
several years ago I came across a guy on facebook called Ed Pratt, he maybe lives up to his surname but he was unicycling around the world, I think it took him a couple of years, including at least one break of several months when he met a nice girl in kazakstan or something like that.
Absolute nutters - anyone who uses a unicycle to get somewhere - and the world is a much better place for them
Road.cc has mentioned him previously. (The video of him cycling with Mark Beaumont is great - difference in leg speed is something).
Think he's got all the usual channels and a site.
More than that, look at how much stuff he (Pratt) was carrying with him?!
Beaumont was just riding an unloaded bike, while a camper and support team carried all his stuff behind.
I used to commute to work on a unicycle, but it was only a couple of miles and part of that was on the Bristol-Bath cycle path. When I moved house, I got put off by having to deal with my journey being mainly on the road (or having to deal with lots of kerbs if using the pavement). That's when I started using a bike instead.
So what you're saying is you gave it up because you got two tyred with it?
[Sorry - someone had to]
That's a lot of pedalling, unless they've got touring ones!
(Yes, you could add gears also, for a price...)
That geared hub is expensive!
You'd think that a unicycle would be, on average, half the price of a bicycle…![](/sites/all/themes/rcc/images/smilies/3.gif)
