RoadCycling.co.nz has a full rundown of the Unicycle World Championships (UNICON 2010) being held in New Zealand this week…if you’re into that kind of thing.
Various events included sprints, long distance races, high jumps, street skills, basketball(!), downhill, and even artistic freestyle. At left is a photo of the Artistic Pairs event where David Maillard and Gilles Saudan from Switzerland wowed the crowd with a strip-tease. Nice sock garters. I’m beginning to think that unicyclists have all the fun…

The opening ceremonies. Over 700 participants!
The start of the kids’ race.
The Japanese women dominated all the track events. Is it me, or do they all look like they have to pee? I’d race faster too…
