That’s How He Rolls

photo (62)-001Prince George, BC –  It is not the dry streets that lured Mike Talbot out for a ride on his unicycle…

The long-time Prince George resident said he rides year-round, but he did admit to, typically, sticking to a shorter frame during the winter months.

So it may have been the view from atop his ‘giraffe’ framed cycle that had him riding along Ospika Boulevard yesterday.  Talbot didn’t have too much time to explain to 250News…his tricky perch forced him to keep moving.

When asked at the end of our block-long interview what drew him to unicycles, he replied that he had found walking on eight-foot stilts too awkward.

I’ve tried it and its even harder than it looks, and hurts a lot the wipe outs. You have to start young for this sort of thing.
