Tour de unicycle

For those of you who don't want to be limited to two wheels, there's Ride the Lobster, a five-day, 800-kilometre race across Nova Scotia, for one-wheeled cyclists.
Organizers told the Halifax Chronicle-Herald that they want the event to be a Tour de France for unicyclists.
It's to begin in Yarmouth on June 16 and pass through the Annapolis Valley and then on to Cape Breton Island, where a big finish awaits in Baddeck.
Organizers Ed Wedler and William Dockrill say the race, which they call the first of its kind and distance in the world, has attracted interest from unicyclists from 17 countries.

  • North America is eventually going to figure out that, for all the right reasons, we need more bicycles on our roads. Dust off your bicycle and go cycling. And if the gas-burning dinosaurs start to crowd you, it's your road and you paid for it. Take the lane for yourself.
