I live 25 miles from work and I cannot picture riding in.. At least not till I buy a 36 and then only on nice days.
How long did this take and what size Uni?

The Kinetic Sculpture Race is 3 days; the longest day is only about 20 miles on road (although it's another 1.5 miles of paddling). I did it on an Endomorph (26x3.7"), and the long day took me maybe four hours.

A guy who weighed over 100kg (220 pounds). I put him on my shoulders. I've since decided that carrying people who weigh more than you is not a good idea!

jaco_flans · 2010-03-13, 02:27 PM

I carried my 20" Trials on my coker once. I wanted to go ride with another guy and I didn't wanted to wait for the bus

I managed to put it in my bag when I rode there and I when I got back home I was just riding with my full 20" in my hands.

Carried a friend on my shoulders back in college. Come to think of it the second heaviest thing is probably my college backpack with all those books!

I have also done this.

my 20 inch trials on my 36"

Catboy · 2010-03-13, 06:02 PM

I've carried two people(~300#) whie riding a trials cycle. I once had to freeboard 2 miles down Mt. Rose highway carrying a giraffe and 2 bc wheels, that was exciting.

Mikefule · 2010-03-13, 06:42 PM

Just a short distance with one unicycle over each shoulder.

"Where's your oth.. oh."

I cannot imagine carrying a kayak for four hours.

Metaphysician · 2010-03-13, 06:55 PM

As usual, I'm quite impressed with all the things my fellow crazy unicyclists have done!

As a beginner, my modest claim is that I wore large two backpacks full of food (couldn't zip them up on top!) about a mile home from Costco. Going up and down the bridge over the highway was the toughest part!

I must say, though, that balancing with an approximately 30 lb. (14 kg) backpack in back AND one in front--a frontpack?--can be easier than just one in back, if you've not done either. I just couldn't freemount with the front backpack hanging down!

To be fair, it's an inflatable packed in a backpack.
