Happy New Year! Hope you saw in 2011 with some unicycling action already. If not, why not join us for a unicycle tour in an exotic location this year?
Our next Adventure Unicyclist tour will be through the mountains of Tibet in South-West China. We will be riding from Shangri-La, through various mountain passes to the famous Tiger-Leaping-Gorge above the Yangzi River. It will have some spectacular scenery and should get those unicycle legs working hard!
Let us know if you want to come on tour, we have 20 places available.

3 Oceans Unicycle Tour

Yes, that crazy man who unicycled across India is at it again. Sid Rajan is riding across Australia as part of his honours thesis. Having just recently ridden across Tasmania as part of the Tasmania Unicycle Tour, Sid will be taking on the rest of Australia in a test of endurance.
“The aim of this research project is to arrive at a deeper understanding of the embodied experience of long distance cycle touring in relation to the space-time dimension of the experience.”
Sounds like an incredibly painful experiment to me! The tour will take place in June-July 2009. Folllow his journey here: 3 Oceans Unicycle Tour Website
Good luck Sid!

We’ve added a couple of articles on Adventure Unicyclist. Both are related to concepts which are slowly creeping into unicycling.
The first article is about setting up unicycles more like bicycles…particularly for road riding. The reasoning is that as unicyclists start riding faster and over longer distances, the most comfortable set-up is one refined over a century by our two wheeled cousins. There is already vigorous debate on the forums and many new designs coming forth. Read about it here: Road Unicycle Set-up and T7 Modification.
The other article is also something that we are starting to have to think more about, unicycle gearing. As technology improves, it becomes more difficult for beginners to figure out concepts like gearing when there are multiple factors involved. Klaas Bil, a unicyclist from Holland, has devised a way to think about unicycle gearing which I found quite interesting. Read about it here: Total Gear Ratio.
