Last week at unicycle club I didn’t take very many pictures, partly because I spent a lot of club time discussing taking a unicycle on public transit. Athena and I have both been denied entry to a bus by a cranky driver. Their usual excuse is “no bikes on the bus!” which is obviously a bad argument when one is trying to transport a unicycle.

Both Calgary Transit and the province of Alberta define a bicycle as having at least two wheels. Calgary transit does not have any unicycle-specific rules, and considering a uni is smaller than most baby carriages, hockey bags and people, there is no real reason to deny us access. Try telling that to a cranky bus driver!

Do you have any experience with this issue? Write a comment to tell us what you did, especially if you managed to convince a driver to let you on!

It was a sunny, if chilly morning and we decided to go for a ride. Just as we were leaving the studio a few late comers showed up so we decided to wait for them.

Once everyone was caught up we made our way to the bike path by the river.

Some of the guys decided to take the hard way.

But we all got there, safe and sound.

Then we headed back to the studio, taking a more urban rout.

Back inside, there were plenty of wheeled things to play with, including a trials bike, the giraffe, and the ultimate wheel.
