Having suffered a few punctures of late on my cargobike, this is something else I have come to love about unicycles. Punctures are half as likely, right!? 😜

Picked up my cargo bike again after it was in for servicing. Always fun talking with the mechanics when I roll up on a unicycle and then proceed to try and convince them of the practicalities of using a unicycle (to arrive for the pickup) since it's easy to then get both cycles home. 😉

I took off my mudguard the other day (after I got blood on it) and forgot to remount it.

Since it rained today and I did not want to get a mud stripe up my back I got on the bus. Unicycles are perfect for such multi-modal transport as they are so compact.

@SteamHeaterson Ha great picture and funnily enough this is how I regularly brought my second child to kindergarten. It was perfect because it made the first part of the journey really quick and afterwards I could use the unicycle to commute on to work. As I have often said 😉 @matt

My wife was out with our eldest (they used public transport to get to their destination). I was at home with our youngest. We needed to meet them *quickly* for lunch (they preordered). The quickest way was was using a bike. But… afterwards we wanted to go home together. 🤔

The solution, I put the in the cargo bike with the youngest. Then cycled to meet the other two.

Afterwards my wife cycled the kids and I unicycled alongside. 🤷🏼

And yes, I realise this is almost certainly staged and the guy filming and the unicyclist are in on this together.

But… I think it is doable and 😆

Re-posting from "Jazzie654" on the 🐦 site, just as a reminder of what I have said here multiple times

P.S. That unicyclist needs some air in his tyre. 😉

@justusthane No drive train of course 🤷🏼, e.g. a unicycle.

Also it is easier to bring a unicycle into the shower and shower it down after a ride

P.S. Yes I went looking for this post 😜

As long as you have a unicycle, there are never "fewer vendors to choose from". 😉

Finally picked up the cargo bike after it being out of action for a few weeks (unexplained noises meant that I felt it should be serviced). We had some issues finding a time to get it looked at because of work (abroad), holidays and the bike shop we used being booked up, so we only got it in for servicing the other day.

Once again, the unicycle was the perfect way to pick it up. Cycle the unicycle to the bike shop, put the unicycle inside the cargo bike, cycle back. 👍

@Pepijn

From the ride where this picture was taken

Note my average speed, riding the uni (in the snow) is 15.7km/h. Not fast (since it is a relatively small wheel) but not terribly slow either.
