unicycle dreams
Every so often I dream about riding a unicycle with a freewheel. At least I think I do, I could have just dreamt it. Last night it was my 20" Ringmaster. The dream started with a parade. I had been planning to ride with several other unicyclists, but at the last minute decided not to ride. Then, after watching the others ride past, I decided to ride after all. I remembered that I'd left my unicycle laying around somewhere, so I sprinted back to where I'd left it and was relieved to find it still there. I mounted and started riding round some lovely clear suburban roads (the parade was now forgotten about). I remembered that my unicycle had a freewheel and started freewheeling. Before long I came to a road that went down. And down. And down. I was going too fast to dismount safely and was desperately looking around for somewhere to turn off and go uphill. All the turnings to my left went down more steeply than the road I was on. All the turnings to my right went uphill but involved turning at least 120 degrees. I was somehow able to look down at my computer and see that my speed was fluctuating between 37-39mph. When I finally came to a short uphill section and was able to dismount, the computer showed that I had reached 42mph. And that wasn't even my first unicycle dream of the night. Earlier I'd had one where I had turned up for an event (possibly a hockey tournament, but I can't remember for sure) and it turned out that Roger had organised a night-time Coker muni ride instead. As luck would have it I happened to have my Coker with me, but I couldn't find any lights. -- Danny Colyer http://www.colyer.plus.com/danny/ Subscribe to PlusNet http://www.colyer.plus.com/referral/ "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." - Thomas Paine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Danny Colyer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11637 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/16486 |

unicycle dreams
Whenever I dream about unicycling it's on a coasting uni, and I can do all kinds of cool jumps without slowing down. Which is weird because I never ride bikes and can't ride a coasting unicycle, so you'd think my subconscious would be thoroughly used to direct drive. -- Beth ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beth's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12979 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/16486 |
