Unicycle Bike Walk

10:45am Sunday 5 August 2001

Wow. I'm practically drenched with sweat.

This morning I had 3 flat tires on my unicycle and bicycle combined. Fortunately, there is a gas station with a free air hose within a few blocks of us. The air hose is not always working, and I didn't want to walk both cycles down there and find it unusable, so I just walked my uni there.

The air hose was working, so I inflated the tire and rode my uni all the way back, no worries.

Then came the hard part. I rode my uni while holding my bike upright beside me. I wasn't carrying it off the ground, but it was quite difficult to lean all the way over to reach it, so I did lift my bike up some.

I'm not sure that it was faster than walking my bike, but it certainly was a lot more challenging. I had to keep mentally cheering myself on, "you can do it, ROB! You can do it!" Pretended I was in the olympics for the Unicycle Riding Bike Walk competition.

So incredibly sweaty after I made it to the gas station.

Filled up my bicycle tires and rode my bike back and carried my unicycle over my shoulder.

Sweat pouring into and burning my eyes. Good exercise for the day.

Now I'm going to go ride my bike to work and get some shit done while no one is there to bug me.
