Rides a unicycle to break the ice, huh? IC.

So how does he find same sex marriage couples riding on his unicycle, anyway?

Ah, that explains why I suddenly received so much misadressed e-mails with that topic.

I invited him to stay at my house as he is riding sort of past my area and I am gay.

Unfortunately he hasn't gotten back to me.

Credit Raphael for turning me onto this story.

Great story, thanks for posting. I have a good friend that learned to ride unis with me when we were kids and he's gay. I'll pass this on to him!

Lars Clausen seems pretty cool for a preacher.

His book "One Wheel Many Spokes" is a great read.
For those of you who haven't had the pleasure: The book is about his journey ( along with his wife and kids in a support vehicle ) across America and back on a Coker.

Thanks, Roadkill,

I have heard of that book and didn't make the connection here.

There is a connection between unicycling and philanthropy. Not certain why. I'm in a smallish rural town (26,000) and folks who are finding out that I ride are recruiting me to represent thier organization for the "Lentil Festival" parade.

Strange!

I know your town well, and been through it many times. You would probably have fun riding in the parade.

Hey, Paula. I'm glad you contacted him, but sorry he didn't respond. You never know, he might just show up.

Cheers.

I've noticed quite a few WA state Unicyclists on this forum. Not in Pullman, though. Moscow, ID has more.

The parade is a hoot. If I'm in town I'l team up with the local clown "Slinky" and throw candy at (I mean to) the kids. Should be a blast. It's be great to dress up my coker wheel like a big lentil.

Yes Tyler, I'm a 'bo.

I'm reading One Wheel Many Spokes right now and it's great.

Raphael, I thought the timing would be perfect for me to host Lars as he started in Vermont last week and was planning on arriving in New York City today or tomorrow, I think. That should have brought him right by my house this week. And I know he visited Keith Cash in Schenectady again this trip (Schen is only about 25 miles from me.) Unfortunately, he's probably already in NYC and I'm leaving tomorrow morning to visit my girlfriend's family in Michigan.

Oh well, maybe his next trip across the country!
