I ride a unicycle. It's a Schwinn 24" unicycle with a blue rim, and
blue and white tire and seat. I enjoy the challenge of learning
tricks or negotiating obstacles, and find unicycling to be a cool
alternative to walking. Also, the chicks dig it. Well, maybe not.There is an international unicycling club, but for me it's an informal thing, and I'm really not into the organized competition and certification system they have set up.
After living in Ithaca for a while, I've realized that unicycling could also be a way to get in shape, with all these hills all over the place. My goal is to make it up Williams Street (the steepest street in Ithaca). Kudos to Gordon Kindlman (Cornell Math '95), who can actually do it.
Some other unicyclists I know:
Mountain Unicycling (what a bunch of weirdos!)
