Road racing unicycles over long distances, and traveling long distances is now a niche thing... who knew?


27 year old Cary Gray, has traveled the continent by unicycle and kayak since 2013

Gray on his way to the southernmost tip of South America, via the West Coast of the USA from Washington to Los Angeles, then east through Death Valley and on to the headwaters of the Mississippi River. 

There, he'll kayak through to the Gulf of Mexico, then around Florida, through the Caribbean islands and into Venezuela, where he'll once again hop on his unicycle.

He's using his adventures to fill his book, The Naked Unicyclist https://www.amazon.com/Naked-Unicyclist-Cary-Gray-ebook/dp/B01LY7JCSU/

To learn more about Gray's journey and his book projects, visit caryoutthere.wordpress.com, or find him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter




this guy looks like he's going for a long one



Mike Tierney's was an exhibit at Denver International Airport, for completing the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, an annual event held bear Durango, Colorado.

The Iron Horse was started 50 years ago, and opened to unicycles in 2005

Unlike the regular cyclists, a unicyclist has to pedal down every inch of every hill... all 47 miles of mountain roads, with 2 passes over 10,000 feet elevation. 


Tierney was one of six who launched — and the only one that finished.
