    Hey everyone,

    I'm adding a page with all the road uni records (marathons, hour
    records, 24 hour records, 10k's and basically anything that is road)
    but as no one really kept track of all the records in the past years
    there's not much to go on, so far we've got:

    http://eenwiel.nl/index.php?menuid=59&pageid=162

    If you can add any more records that would be great, post or PM if you
    know any!

    Cheers,

    Dustin

    surely the table is pretty self explanatory even if you can't read the
    titles?

    in any case:

    name, country, distance, date, place

    hour record, 24 hour record, unlimited marathon

    Good idea Dustin!

    Just to be picky, you've listed my country as 'England' - it should
    really be 'Wales' (or more vaguely 'UK'😉. Aberystwyth is definitely not
    in England - try telling that to any Welsh person! 🙂 You can get a
    'Wales flag from wikipedia'
    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Wales_2.svg) if you want
    it. Sticking with UK may be simpler though. The date should be 29-30
    Sept 07, not 27th.

    I think the 10km Unlimited record is Patrick Schmid's winning time at
    Unicon13: 22:16.60

    And of course Takayuki Koike's 100 mile record of 6:44:21.84 from 1987
    in Japan. I recently found some older references to the 100 mile
    record from when it was still human in an ancient Guinness book - I'll
    see if I can find them.

    Cheers

    Sam

    Thanks Sam, I've edited your record and added Patrick's and Takayuki's,
    I've thought about adding the 100 mile record before but there's not
    much info on exact dates and place. If anyone could supply those that
    would be great! If you can find that former 100 mile record that would
    be awesome too, I've never seen it.

    Does anyone know the former marathon records?

    Cheers,

    Dustin

    Excellent contribution Dustin. It was sorely needed, and is alot more
    convenient than regurgitating past threads. The top athletes of our
    sport worldwide should be appropriately published.

    Takayuki's record was set in or around Tokyo, about a week after Unicon
    III, which would make it early August. He had a 43" rickshaw wheel
    unicycle which was very heavy, but at least had an air tire.

    He was pursued by Floyd Beattie (from Ohio), who was approx. 33 years
    old and the previous record holder. They had been rivals over the
    record for the previous few years. Floyd was riding either a 40" or 45"
    Unicycle Factory big wheel.

    Before those guys were battling it out the record was 9:20, I think the
    rider's name was Johnny Severin, and it was done in 1981.

    Before that it was 10:31 by Cathy Fox (female) from Marion, Ohio on a
    40" Unicycle Factory big wheel.

    A chocolate unicycle tastes great but is a bugger to ride.

    I've lived here for a while, I like it here; I'm slowly learning Welsh
    language. What's to say I'm not? (Other than my 'British' passport) 🙂

    The Welsh flag also has far fewer imperial associations than the Union
    Flag, which makes me less reluctant to be catagorised by nation.

    Certainly does - in fact the English (St George) flag is even worse,
    forever associated with skinheads, football and racism. Being English
    is almost something to be ashamed of (or at least the flag is). I was
    born just the wrong side of the river (Bristol). Besides, any nation
    with a dragon on their flag has to be cool 😉

    Being a bit more on-topic, I'm pretty sure the country column in
    Dustin's list is where the record was set, not the nationality of the
    rider.

    Rob

    It was actually meant as nationality, but so far it works for both as
    everyone has ridden the record in their own country. Going to bump
    Roger for Japanese records, and I think he held the 10km before Patrick
    did.

    Dustin,

    here is a link to the records set by the Swiss unicyclist Stefan Gauler
    a few years back (1h accepted by Guiness and 24h). He still rides 🙂
