Matt Downing takes to the roads of Paris and Spain on one wheel to raise money for charity.
“Starting in Calais and ending in Gibraltar he will traverse the entire trip on a Unicycle. That’s roughly 2000 miles! He expects to meet many people along the way and ask them nicely to contribute to his cause – raising money for Cancer research UK.”

Introducing the new Adventure Unicyclist logo
Jun 13th, 11
/ Comments Off
Ahem…because people seem to think this sort of thing should have an underlying meaning, here is one interpretation of it. The stylised AU represents the winding path we take in search of our unicycling adventures, whether you choose to ride a MUni or on a Unitour. The ‘A’ represents the hills and the ‘U’ represents the valleys, while the ‘-‘ highlights the bridges we cross along the way. Together they make up the cranks of a spinning unicycle.
The new logo will be incorporated in the AU Cycling Jersey, which we are about to print for the Yunnan Unicycle Tour.
Design by Ken Looi, after several late nights and ingestion of caffeine enriched substances.
