Funny Sight, No Pic

Second consecutive cloudy day
Just as Becca and I were starting out this morning we saw a mountain biker heading our way.  It wasn't until he was nearly abreast of us that I realized he was riding a unicycle mountain bike.  Never saw one before.  The biker wore a helmet with a GoPro camera on the front.  I smiled big when he was beside us, and, being a good-natured guy he smiled back and said, "Good morning."  I did not have time to get my camera out or I would have photographed him.  If I see him again I'll certainly try to get a picture.

I can hardly imagine how a mountain unicycle would work. Sounds really dangerous and precarious.

That guy must have had a great sense of balance.
