it had been a rough start to the year. at the time (beginning of March) things were bad; how could they have possibly been worse? oh, right. because humans.
Unicycle I can ride around the track now, as well as ride a bit on the sidewalk and street (at night, less cars). My personal record distance in one go is about 200m. I need to relax more, weight off the pedals and on the seat, and keep the pelvis forward. I also need to …
