I just got sent a link to an incredible unicycle and
artistic bicycle act. They're Roger and Andre 'The Swedish
Cycle Act' (home.swipnet.se~w 21164Open ↗). Sorry about
the background music on the web page. You might want to turn
your speakers off to avoid annoying your neighbors.
The unique part of the act is that Andre rides an artistic
tandem on the rear wheel like a giraffe unicycle. He starts
riding solo as the stoker, lifts the front wheel off the
ground, climbs up to the captain's seat, and then climbs up
to and sits on the head tube. Incredible.
Other skills displayed: Jumping from a 6 foot to an 8 foot
giraffe while riding, freemounting an 8 foot giraffe,
artistic bike skills, and more.
Check out the gallery on the web page. On the gallery page
is also a 3 MB QuickTime movie. The movie shows the 6 ft to
8 ft giraffe transfer and the tandem artistic bike wheelie
among other things.
I got the link from a tandem bike rider that I met on the
Chilly Hilly. That tandem wheelie has the tandem cyclists
all amazed.
