I went to the girlfriends Mum and Dad's at Oxted last night for dinner, whilst driving down Titsey hill what did we see riding up?? Only some bloke on a bloody uni cycle!! Anyone else seen this headcase?

Yeah, and there was an elephant, three tigers and a ringmaster close behind, right?

Too much sun.

yeah seen him out and about around oxted. simply awesome! :shock:
I think he has some sort of handlebar arrangement on it too, very very cool. but no idea who he is or what he does.

I can just about stay on mine for 100 meters or so. on the flat. in a straight line.

you ever tried going down a hill on a unicycle andrew!!? but yes it's actually easier going uphill.
should get some footage of me trying to go down a miniscule gradient. :roll:

however... I have seen him descending on the A25 on it.

I've seen something similar once.

A few years ago I went touring. had been climbing for hours and hours and thought I was seeing things when I saw a guy on a uni coming the other way.

Never been on a unicycle ivor, just thought it'd be a bit tricky to go down Titsey (quite steep) balancing on the thing and with it being a fairly small geared fixed wheel.
