My gf just called me to let me know she saw a fool on a unicycle speeding down a steep, busy road, pretty much out of control. Apparently the look on his face was priceless. :twisted:

(he made it btw)

    Nowt wrong with unicycles. One nutter here in NZ rides his in the "Lake Taupo" event every year - 160 hilly and windy kms. Talk about leg speed. I believe he may have also even completed the enduro event - x2 laps. Just a wee bit tougher than the 10,000 others that do it each year on uprights.

    There used to be a guy who went around in Edinburgh on a unicycle. I bumped into him at a bar one night and struck up a conversation with him. More's the pity as he was a bit of a c_ck!!!!

    Possibly it was him! Living in Edinburgh, the sight of a unicycle brings on a feeling of anger, which gets worse as the Festival approaches!

    There is a young lad who practises up on York Place, late late a night. And a guy who goes along the Water of Leith Walkway - the temptation to push him in!
