  1. Apparently there is an article in the Guardian today about redwelly
    riding his unicycle the length of Britain.

    Anybody seen it?

  3. Not quite what I was expecting, but since it was my boss who told me
    about it, I shouldn't be too surprised.

  5. Quoted message said:

    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.
