D1 Finish Line- Unicycle<\/p><\/div>\n

Here is a collection of\u00a0 56 photos taken by Lee N5NTG at the San Marcos Finish Line on Day 1,\u00a0 on the road on Day 2 from various rest stops and the Austin Finish Line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I saw at least two of these uni-cycles on both days, this one (in photo) and one other.\u00a0 Unicycle riders have to peddle 100% of the time, no coasting, no shifting gears, oops, no steering wheel at all.\u00a0 Just their inate sense of balance and lots of forward movement.\u00a0\u00a0 On Day 2, the other unicycle rider was zipping down the road, so we stopped on the side of the road to shoot some video of him.\u00a0 He waved and then stopped next to my mini-van and held on to its luggage rack, saying “you just knew I needed a break, didn’t you?”\u00a0\u00a0 He rested for a few minutes and then went on to finish.<\/p>\n
