  5. 'Peter Rosendahl' (http://www.peter-rosendahl.com/) has a web page. It
    mentions some of his records but not the latest one for riding a uni
    with a 15mm diameter wheel.

    Here's the text that goes along with the pic:
    Guiness Book World Record holder Peter Rosendahl of Sweden, best known
    as Unicycle King in the world, performs with the world smallest unicycle
    with 15mm diameter wheel in Hong Kong Friday, July 8, 2005. Peter broke
    the Guiness World Record of riding the smallest unicycle with 15mm
    diameter wheel in Germany in June this year.

  6. Congratulations again to Peter Rosendahl! He has set a long list of
    Guinness records over the years, including the 100m sprint, which was
    previously mine.

    He worked for several years at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. I have a coin
    cup from there that shows him posing with his sideways zig-zag
    giraffe.

    Peter was the first-ever men's artistic unicycling world chamipion
    (1984).

    It was interesting to read about his connection with Langenberg on his
    web page:

    "Peter´s unicycles are sponsored by Langenberg: The German specialist
    for highend Indoor + Outdoor bicycles. Together they developed the
    PETER-ROSENDAHL-UNICYCLE as a highend modell for world champhions."

    I have a Langenberg unicycle hanging in my garage, but I have not heard
    of the Rosendahl version. Unfortunately the linked Langenberg web site
    seems to be under construction.

  7. The craziest thing is that I stumbled onto this picture when I was
    looking up a projected path of hurricane dennis. Really bizarre cuz how
    many unicycle pictures are there just randomnly like that. Pretty dope.

    That's probably a record as well!

    Riding a tiny wheel is really hard, even if it's geared up to move at a
    higher speed. One of the biggest problems is finding a riding surface
    that's hard and flat enough for the tiny wheel to roll on while bearing
    all your weight.

    I've ridden a tiny giraffe with a 11/16" wheel (about 20.6mm). It had
    much larger pedals/cranks, and a higher seat. But it only worked on
    hard linoleum, formica or a metal riding surface. Everything else was
    just impossible micro-MUni. The uni I rode had been featured in the
    Guinness Book (USA) in 1985-6, but not we me as the rider.
