Obviously I don't get out much. I thought that 29ers were the next "big thing." But this week, on three separate occasions riding around Manly Dam, I have seen three (3) different people riding unicycles.

I don't know how they do it: How do they get up hills? How do they steer? How do they control their speed? What about getting over obstacles? How do they get under all the overhanging branches?

None of these riders was dressed like a clown, so I'm assuming it is serious.

Is it time for me to lose that front "training" wheel and jump onto the next big thing?
