For Heyes, his attempt to re-engage with life began with a unicycle ride from John O'Groats to Land's End in 1998 in an attempt to break down the stigma surrounding mental illness.
I have to say that I'm not sure that unicycling 1000 miles would help break down the stigma. When I tell people I ride just 8 miles to work each day they ask if I'm mad. If anything, a 1000 mile ride would emphasise the fact.

So would riding in a 24 hr. mtb race:p
But really, the more exposure there is like this the more unicycling seems like a normal sport. IMO.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the time do it along the way. Parafrasing a pro skater when asked for advise to kids who wanted to get much better and maybee turn pro one day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skilewis74's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12404 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63509
