      @kingrobert1st 4 роки тому +1

      Did you ever think of extending the saddle post and incorporating a chain drive where you could theoretically install a gear system for climbing gradients? I would have. Plus the higher you are on the unicycle, the easier it is to balance. But I guess you already knew that. I think you should have made a show for the kids...like trick cycling and juggling...after all that is the unicycles main purpose.

      @@kingrobert1st I would argue that the main purpose of Ed's 36" unicycle is for distance riding, not tricks and juggling. And he was there to talk about riding around the world, not unicycling in general.

    • @kingrobert1st

      @@justinlandau4315 I beg to differ. The main purpose of a unicycle is trick cycling and juggling which is what I do. Next time he goes off on an adventure he should really bear that in mind.

I know it has been a couple years but your videos are so inspiring to watch. Not only due to your amazing effort and spirit, but the people that open their hearts and homes for you. It shows people are people all over the world. Can't wait for your next adventure. Tandem tour soon?

    Been watching your videos and have been blown away. On another unrelated note, it's just embarrassing that Australian culture is such that one is forced to blur the faces of school children (in a crowd mind you), as if not doing so would pose some kind of risk to the children. I am an Australian living abroad, and everytime I go back home I am reminded how much we place children in cotton wool and deny them their independence, as if danger lurks behind every street corner and that all people are not to be trusted.
