Another fundraising tour in Canada: New Yorkers Philip (a real estate developer) and Sophie Wharton (a psychology major at Harvard University) already raised $17K so far!

Philip Schleihauf (18) is doing a Victoria-to-Ottawa unicycle trek to raise money and awareness for Invisible Children, an organization working to free child soldiers in Africa. Check out unicycleacrosscanada.ca.

Besides being team-captain of the Taiwanese Unicycle Team, Steve Dressler brought in 1998 the first Philipino unicyclist to UNICON. Now a decade later there seems to be an alive unicycle community.
(it may take a while before the player is loaded)

On my way to a unicycle-workshop I ended at a wrong railwaystation. So I grabbed my cracked GPS enabled iPhone G3's Google Maps application, and used it as navigator to travel by unicycle to my destination as an alternative. At one point I looked up from the screen (left)... and encountered a Street View car at the crossing! So I drove a little bit up to ensure I would be captured (....if the camera's were running, that is).

This is where it happened, and where I hopefully will appear soon. Unfortunely not the best place to be spotted as unicyclist: the hospital.

I was hoping I might be the 1^st unicyclist on Street View... but somebody in Australia New Zealand probably is did a doubtful claim.

Here is a picture of the Spanish camera-car fleet that's now in Holland, which shot each other elsewhere in The Netherlands.

I haven't seen this one before.

We've had people crossing the states on unicycle, but this will become another interresting ride...

Rachel Weisz can be added to the list of celebrity unicyclists. But it remains unclear for how much she mastered it.

I found a good video of the electric unicycle, made by the gadget-show.

Today I was in France and visited Cirque Arlette Gruss. Reading the president of the republic condoleances of when Arlette Gruss died... probably the national circus of France.
Anyway the Wuqiao Troupe is there!
They now jump from ultimate to ultimate OVER 7(!) people (I counted that myself with no doubt).
And they ride an ultimate on stilts!

Okay, it's a typo: "the Federal Road safety Corps (FRSC) has arrested over 2000 monocycle riders"

Richard Wertz and Hugh Garner said: unicycling offers both physical and emotional benefits for kids and adults, blue collar, white collar, black and white Unicycling is the best workout you can get on one wheel further: It requires concentration, so daily problems get pushed out of the way while you ride, and it provides a great physical workout, which helps me sleep at night. and refer to it as: the great equalizer. and say: Unicycling brings together a pretty diverse group and: We have kids and adults, blue-collar riders and white-collar riders, black unicyclists and white unicyclists. and: It is a fantastic workout and: It will build stamina, balance and coordination and strengthen your muscles and teach your legs to turn smoothly and with control.

OK, one more post and video advocating bicycles.

A reader pointed to a viral movie showing the average cyclepath in an average village in The Netherlands.
You can see a unicycle in it. And you can see why there usually are no school busses.

The intro of this article about unigeezer describes good some of the older unicyclists.

I always liked WA. Alan Tepper is not the only PE teacher in that state who's school endorses unicycling.

Okay. Hello you bunch of sports-unicyclists and/or self-claimed so called extreme unicyclists, who piss on classic circus. Yes I particular address to those childish ones at for example eenwiel.nl who dare to claim it's dull and for sissies....

Last week I had a performance at the Ahoy in Rotterdam, coincidently I met circuspeople I know since long, and was welcome to see the show.
So today I went to the wintercircus in Ahoy Rotterdam, to meet a group of 13 (yes, 13) pro unicyclists.
If that wasn't unique enought, and for the record, they don't ride unicycles, but only the ultimate wheel.
Okay, fair; a large portion of their tricks (yes, I said tricks in stead of skills) are nothing unicycle related.
But still... when was the last time you jumped over 4 human?
Or did trail with your ultimate wheel on (yes, I wrote on) a human obstacle!? Ever seen that?
Or what about (mind you) a for(!)ward summersalt from riding an ultimate-wheel, over the back of someone, string into riding again!!!
Makes me wonder: when was the last time you saw a unicycle-act as final act in a world-class circus?
Nuff said. The Wolf Hunan Troupe rocks! and so far it's defenitly the best ultimate-wheel act I'd ever seen. Period.

Did I made my point? Here are some bad quality pictures (sorry) anyway:

• many riders
• rope skipping
• flic-flac
• jump over 4(?) human
• jump from rider to rider
• human-obstacle a
• human-obstacle b
• human-obstacle c
• human-obstacle d
• forward salto

With a group of artists and performers from Holland I just returned from a week in Qatar, were we all made some good publishity in all major national newspapers. And then suddenly the event/venue was for 3 days daily 2 hours live on the national TV channel.
Rumours sais even the king and his wife visited the event incognito.

I was serving "karak", a tradional tea which is very common in the entire Gulf Area and India.
It's just like English tea, except that the sugar and milk are added before boiling.

So now I registred unicycle.ae, and translated my entire website into Arabic, because I defenitly would like to return to Qatar or the United Arab Emirates!.

On the picture you see me on unicycle and a police-officer in uniform.

As unicycle performer I meet also other performers. Like Magic Brian from New York.
His site is linking to Amy G, a beautifull woman with an odd way to play the anthem!

Seems like Yoggi left Koxx.

Kevin Tomczyk is delivering papers on his unicycle. Hope he can buy a nice Muni from the bucks he makes, so he can continue his job even when it's snowing.
(found at sanduskyregister.com).

unicyclings boosts self-confidence of students.
I'd say, not only students, and not only confidence, but also self-esteem, health (especially you back), patience, creativity, persistance, and many other aspects that benefit self-deploying.

This seems like the 1^st real unfake unicycle robot!

One of the very 1st fellow unicyclists I knew is now planning 620 mile unicycle-trip trough the Himalayas.
update: gizmodo calls him 'future victom of everest'.

Minnesota brought many unique unicyclists. Like Sister Patricia Schoonover, the 'unicycle-nun'.

While unicycling last night I got a filled beer can trown to my head from a building.
