UNICYCLIST TAKES ON A GRUELLING BIKE CHALLENGE

To mountain biker Brent Bos-well, the expression “like riding a bike”
is a highly arguable one. He straddled a unicycle for the first time
almost six years ago and hopped off as quickly as he had mounted it and
shoved it into a cupboard, where it remained until a year- and-a-half
ago.

Now Boswell plans to take on the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Mountain Bike
Challenge on March 1 for the first time.

He is one of about six active unicyclists in the city. They have formed
a recreational group called Amaonetya, which takes part in cycle races
in Cape Town and surrounds.

Boswell said riding a unicycle was “more fun and more technical than a
conventional bicycle”,

Sure, he draws a vast amount of attention, but that hasn’t always been
a bad thing.

“Amaonetya wants to raise money for charity,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mountain Bike Challenge organisers are en-couraging fat tyre
fanatics to get their entries in before deadline on February 6.
