Nathan, what a nice writeup and pics. The Gauntlet sounds like a place
that I would like allot. A limestone cave that use to be a disco, thats
different. That waterfall was beautiful!
soon we were enjoying the perfect water with white sand - a tropical
paradise. Tropical paradise sounds pretty sweet right about now, as
Aspen is full on winter these days. Unicycle adventures are the best,
thanks for sharing yours. Cheers.

Really nice story and pictures, i think unicycle is a very good way to
meet more people when you're abroad, though, i haven't tried it, but i
will, soon enough.

Thanks for all the comments from far and wide around the globeg!

Sorry I wasn't clear about bringing the unicycles on the plane. Each of
us used a bag and checked the uni in as regular baggage (sporting
equipment). I've done this dozens of times and never had a problem with
paying extra or sustaining any damage. For wheel sizes up to 29" the
normal unicycle-shaped bags we have work great. Attached is a photo of
Andy's - he takes the seat off. Mine is more unicycle shaped - I just
take off the pedals. Sorry I don't have a photo of that handy. These
bags were made by Roach and used to be sold by Unicycle.com.

Cokers are trickier. I take the frame and everything off and have 36"
around bags for just the wheels. See this photo http://tinyurl.com/56e7l
No problem with these as checked luggage either.

Nathan, I hesitate to ask more of someone that already contributes so
much to the uni community, but I bet that if you and Megumi were willing
to write down a one-pager on how you make those super cool Coker wheel
bags (i.e. size and type of material needed, shape it's cut into, basic
assembly instructions, how the handle or strap works and is attached,
how you pack the wheel in once the bag is complete, etc.), you would
have the undying gratitude of 36" riders everywhere.

I really want to make one, but I know from experience if I just wander
into it without guidance it will become a hack job of epic proportions
.

I really appreciate all the photos you take and give us access to,
Nathan. You would be surprised, I think, at how much time I have spent
scrutinizing them. Thank you!

I'm wondering how Andy's uni did and what you guys thought of it.
Specifically, did he have any leg clearance issues with using the Large
Marge in conjunction with what appears to be a Suzue hub?
