We spent the evening at the Unicycle Noobs event at the Portland waterfront Friday Night. It’s an event put on by a Portland unicycle group call the Unicycle Bastards to teach noobies how to unicycle. I showed up with 3 SBUs and let everyone pass them around, and did they ever! Those Bastards (what? that’s their name) abused the SBUs like you wouldn’t believe, because I told them to. They were trying to see how fast they could go, riding in grass, off curbs, off people, into each other, etc. They all said they had huge fun with the SBUs and that they were much better than they expected.
Even Jesus showed up to try it:
