Just a random wish for BC shirts in general; sure the general public doesn't know what a BC actually *is* but it surely still deserves a little fashion, no?
I was particularly tickled by the "Unicycle: it's a bike without all the useless #$#%$" on http://www.cafepress.com/unicycles. I'd really love a "BC: it's a unicycle without all the useless %@#$#" shirt ;-) Any other BC shirt would be weclome, though - does anybody know where I might find one? Haven't seen any on the unicycle sites I've looked at.
Thanks very much! I'd been looking for some pictures of bedford stuff.
My friend has something of a background in Physics and gets a little worried about how BC riding can possibly be done. We had fun trying to figure out exactly why it was possible ;-)
I bought a Nimbus BC last Friday from unicycle.uk.com, it arrived this Monday (impressive!). I still love riding and learning tricks on the uni, but at the point I started to commute to work on it I guess I needed something weirder to ride on ;-)

A very similar reason as why it is physically possible to do a stillstand. There have been discussions about this before - and we came to a landing. I'm not sure if the 'search' button would easily find them but you can give it a try.

In the end, we agreed it was possible :-) The thing that really bugged us was whether it was possible to be stable long term, if your centre of gravity moved off-centre. We decided that because you can move the wheel *relative to yourself* in the front / back direction it is definitely possible to maintain a stable state.
Which is good, because otherwise litldude2's escapades would be even more frightening than they are already ;-)
I'll do a search for previous threads - it'd be quite interesting to see what other people thought of the problem.
Mark, if you still think you'd like a "BC: it's a unicycle without all the useless %@#$#" shirt, P.M. me and I could probably get one together for the cafepress site. Let me know what sort of image you'd want, or if lettering would be the thing.
There's been a few orders to the UK, and some to Canada (I don't know if that's 'shipping internationally', really. I mean, it is... but there's aren't any intervening oceans.) and once to Japan. That's international.
Anyhow, I hope they'll ship you anything you like. Here's the mini button to look at, too.
I sent them an email about international shipping, first if they did it, and then how much it'd cost :P cos if it's a lot, it's better to get more, so it brings individual shipping down. But if it's not too bad, then still get lots, cos it brings it down anyway :p
I had them ship out my last order to the UK, buying stuff in bulk with a few friends to save on the postage cost. Since dogzilla has now done these wonderful new shirts, I guess I'll have to do it again, soon!
Cafepress seem happy shipping internationally and they don't charge you US taxes on the items. One thing that's worth noting is that you might be liable for local taxes on shirts you import into your country.
Cheers, Mark
