Thought this a good story for the Split-Second Weekly Photo Challenge although I am in a gray area as it is to be a single frame telling a story.
Uh-oh. If the creator (Shane Francescut, Toronto Street Photographer and Blogger) of the challenge is grading the entries, mine will not meet the objective.
But how often are you in the company of unicyclists?
I was down at PNC Park photographing the prom goers and two nice guys drove by on unicycles. They cycled past me, and as I was photographing them from behind, the guy in the yellow shirt gave the thumbs up and looked back at me and unintentionally gave me what looked to be an “uncomfortable shot” when he lost his balance momentarily.
They stopped and talked with me for a bit and I asked them stupid questions about their wheels. Steve and Daniel. Thank you! And I bet I am not the first person to ask them goofy questions-
These were SERIOUS unicycles. Unicyclists are well balanced they said. I asked if I could blog them and they agreed. Steve on the left. Daniel on the right
Ouch
Thumbs up sign, all is well.
Getting back on the unicycle. Check out that tread.
I was just wondering how different people get involved in different activities. I am sure I would not even be able to get on one and make it go.
They are adorable! Alas, I can’t even ride a two wheeler.
Nice story.
I’ve never seen a unicycle like that before! Wow.
I tried riding a unicycle once, when I was about 10 years old. I wasn’t very good then; I wonder what I would be like now? I’d like to try again….
Let me know if you try it again. It looks difficult to me
Nice catch and up close photos Ruth!
Thanks Kathryn. Hope all is well
It finally is Ruth!! Thank you! 🌺
An easy transportation, and good for exercise!
That’s cool that you got a thumbs up & that they stopped too.
