First Blog Post... Ever!

Well, you know how when something happens, you sometimes think that you'd like to share it with everyone, despite the fact that no one will be interested... well, that's been happening a lot lately. It had kind of crossed my mind that maybe I should get a Blog, but it never crossed my mind at a time that I had any opportunity to do anything about it. Until now!

So... ummm... well... here's my first post!

So, what great insight in to the human psyche have I got for you to kick this all off? Well, it's simple really. Learn to do your ruck sack zip up properly. I left work this evening, and was unicycling down Theobalds Road, and had just crossed Grays Inn Road (somewhere near here; but a bit to the left - I've not learned how to position markers where I want in Google Maps yet!), when I suddenly noticed that my overloaded ruck sack suddenly felt quite light and bouncy. This is a pretty busy junction at the best of times, so I was kind of expecting to get cut up by a taxi at any moment (it happens 3 out of 5 times), but the realisation that all my clothes were streaming out of my back pack like it was a party popper suddenly gave me more fear! A quick check behind me confirmed both the good and the bad; nothing was going to hit me strait away, but, yes, my freshly folded t-shirts were lying strewn all over the road! Eeeek! Well quick thinking told me to stop suddenly, dismount, and then run around like a mad man trying to get everything out of the way of oncoming traffic. Then came the job of trying to collect it all together and fit it all back in to the thing it didn't fit in to start with. As I fished my underpants out of the gutter, I was almost expecting passers by to throw their loose change at me and mutter things like "Aww, bless. He's picking up pants from the gutter... and look, he can't even afford a whole bike"

Oh, the joys of unicycling through Central London in rush hour.

Anyway, there has been many witty and amusing incidents since I started commuting on a unicycle, and, I'm sure there'll be many more to share with you. I realise that at the moment, however, you haven't got a clue who I am, what I do, and why I keep mentioning a mythical horse-like creature with single horn on its nose. But all of that will have to wait until future blogs. This'll do for now.
