Cycle season wheels in at Chilly Hilly By Nick Perry
Seattle Times Eastside bureauIt's go time: The cycle shoes hitting concrete sounded
like a herd of horses when hundreds of cyclists surged
onto three chartered ferries bound for Bainbridge
yesterday morning. As soon as each ferry pulled into dock
and lowered its ramp, the cyclists — many wearing lime-
colored jackets, tight pants and wrap-around shades —
were off.The bikes: The trick to riding a unicycle with a 36-inch-
diameter wheel is to lean forward going uphill and to
descend very slowly, said Irene Genelin, a 19-year-old
University of Washington student."It's a different way to see the world," she said. "It's
fun, you're up higher and you can see things. It's also
more of a novelty. People just come up to you and start
talking."*Rest of story is just about bikes…*

Sure you can walk the whole track, but then it's not MUni, its WUni. ~
Rowan regarding being hard-core.
Actually I think it's more of a WUni. ~ John Foss regarding Sponge Bob’s
