Who is this?

A friend sent me this image and asked me who it was.

I thought I'd see how long it took the Chainlink to come through with a positive ID.

Start the clock. . .

I would be all over trying to ride a unicycle, they've beat me consistently in the past but I shall prevail in the long run...

I'm glad to hear that there is some interest in a unicycle ride. A location that has worked in the past is Roberto Clemente High School by Western and Division. They have a big open lot out back that is great for unicycling. Would a Sat or Sun in June work for everybody?

The only working unicycle I have right now is the 36", but I hope to have a new 24" soon that I could share on a group ride.

And to Anne, I never lived in Beverly.

I wonder if this is a good learner's unicycle? I order from Niagara all the time so the shipping would be not so bad considering I often have rims and bars coming from them too.

Would 24" or 20" be a good start for someone who is 5'8" and a 30" inseam?

For everyone who has expressed interest, I put a unicycle get-together on the calendar: Open Unicycle Ride. Sunday, June 26. Come on out and meet some other beginner/intermediate/advanced unicyclists!

Also, join the Unicyclists group while you're at it.

James, I don't know anything about Avenir, but I'm sure it will work for learning. A 20" or 24" will fit you. You may have to saw down the seatpost on a 24" (I did on the 36"), but a bike shop can do that for you. I personally recommend the 24" because it's faster and you can roll over bumps more easily.

I saw a svelte young Unicyclist on the Western bus last night.

Bus driver had no apparent problem with taking it onto the bus.

He had green tires and what looked like police/caution tape wrapped around the seatpost (for unknown reasons-- to slowdown seatpost thieves maybe?
