Now famous unicyclist

My son sent this link to me. This footage was taken of me sometime
recently. I know where it is on my route that they claim that there is a
red light but I don't think I ran it. They turned left at the
intersection right after me so it obviously changed right at that time.
I may have anticipated the light change, since I ride the route every
day, and took off right at the change. It's good being listed as "weird
unicycle guy" in the credits. I wish the audio was better so I could
hear what was being said. There is a curb cut I ride up on the other
side of the intersection to ride along a long, straight curb, probably
100 yards or so.

YouTube - weird
unicycle guy!

I've been filmed by so many random people exactly like this (with no
upd). I have been waiting for this to happen. If this guy had searched
"unicycle" on youtube first he may think twice about posting such low
quality vid.

Still a good sign that you ride alot

It is important to never make riding look easy. It was smart of you to
plan that UPD at the end to keep up the mystique.

Which is why i sometimes try to stack it on purpose, leaving a bruise
and make fake hurting sounds. So that way, people look at me and don't
try to unicycle.

Is the car going as fast as you or are you going as fast as the car?

How fast is the car or yourself going?

I calculated the cadence from the first few seconds of the video by
tapping out the cadence at a 'BPM calculator'
(http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm). Harper was pedaling at a cadence
of approximately 119.46 RPM. That works out to a speed of approximately
12.3165 MPH.

That is a very good approximation to the actual recorded speed of
12.3164838472mph.

Woah! 12.3164838472 MPH. Now that is precise!

I am usually happy with one significant digit.

Actually more like 19.8214594 km/h.

By the way, this is the perfect opportunity to revive 'this'

you think?
