Is Unicycling the New Black?


OK, so if two wheeler cycling and vintage-a-rama are all the rage right now, I reckon unicycling is the new black. No, no not just for the Leave it to Beaver types (as featured in this 1960s ad).  I did but notice a few at the Sydney Spring Cycle 2009. My observation...Who needs pilates and core muscle exercises when you know how to unicycle?

Now then, what can be more fun than unicycle HOCKEY! Here's a youtube link to some unicycle hockey at this year's Sydney Spring Cycle. Haven't tried it myself. Anyone...Anyone???

If you're interested, the Australian Unicycle Society has a 'wheely good' website (pardon the pun...theirs not mine ;-) ) with lots of facts for anyone interested in ditching a wheel. http://www.unicycling.org.au

It will only be a matter of time before the pennyfarthing makes a popularist comeback. A world where the Hummer and the pennyfarthing can co-exist? Hmmmm....
