In the 7/29/2010 Rivendell News article Grant (at least I assume it was Grant) posted:
"A few years ago a unicyclist came by and told stories of touring Europe in a group of other unicyclists. There is a lot to be said for camaraderie and shared experiences and all, but it makes me wonder if there are any solo unicycle tourists out there, and IF they'd do that way out in the Scottish boonies with nobody around, if given the choice of a one-wheeler or two-wheeler. How much of it is external drive, and how much internal? That's a good question, I think. I don't know the answer, and for the record, I like unicycles. I can't ride one, but I likem...." While he's talking about folks doing things like this without an audience, there is at least one fellow doing solo unicycle rides and posting to the net, technically I guess he does have an audience. He's not riding out in the Scottish boonies but through long stretches of Australia, India, and other such places. Sid Rajan / Adventure Unicyclist [http://sidrajan.com/] >From the site: "In 2009, Sid became the first person to unicycle 5700km across Australia. His 86 day journey included a crossing of the desolate Nullarbor Plain, without the aid of a support vehicle. During the 1200km crossing of the Nullarbor, Sid fought hunger, thirst and extreme fatigue. Sid's other unicycling achievements include a ride from Delhi in India to Lahore in Pakistan, tours in Vietnam and Laos, and unicycling 100km or more in a day a whopping 32 times." So exactly when will we be seeing a lugged steel unicycle frame with touring braze-ons?
