Why are you coming on Induni? Because I can
What are you looking forward to most (on Induni)? Seeing a new part of the world, riding with some excellent people and meeting the locals.
What is your favourite curry? Any curry that's not too spicy (yes I know I'll probably die several times on the tour from hot curries)
Favourite quote:
If I weren't riding a unicycle, I would be riding a..... I was going to say "another unicycle" but that would still be a unicycle. So I'll be boring and say a bike. I have bike toured lots in the past.
My most overused saying/phrase: Dude, you're so extreme.
Would you take candy from a stranger? Who wouldn't? Well, it depends on how strange really.
When I was little, the best piece of advice my mother/father gave me was: My dad always liked the quote "Wherever you go, there you are."
My Unicycle
The best thing about my unicycle: High gear
The worst thing about my unicycle: Only the gear is adjustable while riding, not the crank length. Also it's kind of heavy.
