    I saw a group of them in Moab this weekend, can you imagine riding a unicycle on slickrock?!

    Two years ago I rode America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride (72 miles around Lake Tahoe), and there was a group of unicyclists who also did it. Some of the descents were really fast, and unicyclists can't ever stop pedaling- amazing!

    Passing them felt sketchy because they wobble around so much while riding, it feels like they might fall over into you.

    At my one and only race so far, there were two guys on unicycles who started with me in the 18-mile run, but they had two courses starting at the same time, the other being 26 miles. I'm not sure which route they did, but they finished a bit after my daughter and I pulled in at two hours. I think they did the 26-mile route - they were uberfit people. Not an ounce of fat on them, and they rode shirtless, which shocked my 10-year-old, and helmetless, which shocked me.

    I was super impressed all the same.

    During the summer & fairer weather, I regularly cross routes with a commuting unicyclist in Bellevue, WA. I guess there is no place for him to mount a fender when it gets wet.
