  3. Be more specific. Do you mean in one day, without dismounting, over an
    entire year, or what? People have ridden across Canada and the United
    States by unicycle, and some even longer distance. The current record
    holder is Lars Clausen who rode across the United States both ways.

  4. Three of the world's longest unicycle rides:

    1. Wally Watts of Alberta, Canada: Around the world, 1976-78. About
    12,000 miles, but not all in a row. He stopped at least once to go home
    and work to earn more money. He did not have enough of a paper trail of
    his ride for Guinness to recognize it.

    2. Pietro Biondo of Quebec, Canada: Around North America (more or less)
    in 1983-84 or so. Also about 12,000 miles, also did not collect all the
    necessary paperwork for Guinness recognition.

    3. Lars Clausen, 9136 miles, in all 50 of the U.S. states, all pretty
    much in a row. Guinness recognized. (www.onewheel.org)

    Or, if you want long distance constant rides, Lars also has the 24 hour
    record, at 202 and a fraction miles. The 100 mile record is 6:44 and
    some seconds. The 100 mile record was done without a dismount, so it's
    also the record for the longest ride without stopping.
