I'm very against helmets. Seeing this solution gave me hope:
an
airbag for cyclists
- check the convincing video!

Unicycle hubs targeting minimal weight usually have small flanges, causing trouble when you need to replace a spoke: it makes such impossible without removing the bearings.
On the other of the spoke you can now have a rim that does the opposite:
This rim
allows replacing of a spoke without taking the even the tires off.
The bedding is perfect for fragile Foss tubes, but not for those who want suspension from holes in the rim.

This is a great light to keep faster bicyclists on a safer distance when they overtake too fast.

And the same company also creates a smart front light that definitely would have prevented at least one very bad fall I once had in the dark:

Recently there was IUF rulebook proposal about banning personal audio during competition in general. Just ago I saw
this pledge
for a traffic safe personal audio system. Sounds great for long distance unicyclists.

In unicycling I came across many people. One man who I respect enormous for teaching people positive things is Allan Tepper. When I complained that I missed him at UNICON I was told
he's about to retire
. And now
even the newspapers start to write about that
.
Mr Tepper; if you read this; I only met you 3 times, but thank you so much for all you did for a lot of people. I'm sure your positive approach will be passed on by those you've teached. Your contributions will certainly be remembered! Wishing you the best!

OK, to some is riding on one wheel -in stead of two- a challange. And some may find this amazing. But what about doing
bicycle races without forearms
?

And I could summarise it without debate into 3 sentences: Smartphones make people stupid. And a
iPad
is just a iPhone for vision impaired.

Many years ago, not too long after the breakdown of the Berlin wall, a engineer of the trabant factory started to show up in the Tour the France, in a very obvious costume. After I found out his name, Dieter Senft, I had some correspondence with him. Written letters, as there hardly wasn't any internet. Today the internet spreads news rapidly. For example his newest creation:
the biggest working bicycle in the world
. Congratulations, impressive big job! :)

A long while ago I tried to motivate Schwalbe to make me a custom tire. Without success, it seemed. Until I just saw their new products, including
3 new spike tires
.

This TEDx talk
explains exactly why unicyclist.org and unicycle.tv started before youtube.
It's even demonstrated with and example of a unicyclist.
It's true: I was reading about coasting before, but only after I saw it done by others I got convinced and motivated about it. That's what video does.

Last year I was in Zurich, in
Die Blinde Kuh
, experiencing how it's like to be blind.
Being blind
doesn't stop Emma Liu from unicycling
!
Challanges; not problems...!

Last year I did a unicycle performance in advance of the finish of the 3th stage of the Giro d'Italia. Some Belgian guy won.
Today was again the 3th stage of this year edition. That Belgian guy -Wouter Weylandt- had a fatal crash, leaving behind a pregnant girlfriend.
Life is strange.
