Rochelle library offers Unicycle University display

Yoopers 5 May 2005 05:31:13
 
The outreach coordinator at our local library talked to us late last
year about putting up a display featuring our unicycle club. May is
unicycle display month. The outreach coordinator's nephew is a member
of our club.

Looks cool, however, there are a few books/pamplets in there, does the
library carry those?

The library carries the one hardcopy, "The Unicycle Book". The others
she obtained from inter-library loan.

Hey Irene,

Recognize the TCUC'ers photos? They're pages from the 2004 calendar
featuring NAUCC 2003 in Minneapolis.

Good to hear from you again. Hope life for you in Seattle is grand.

Do you mean exchanged with each other, facing the other direction, or
given the ability to be turned off and on. :)­

If the truth be known, the trials uni belongs to Ben. It's in there
because it's non-functional at the moment. The Monty cranks are
completely bent and stripped out. We're trying to decide what to do to
get Ben back to the trials scene. We'd like to go with either a Profile
setup or a new trials uni but someone has to pay for a class ring
first.

The freestyle uni belongs to a boy in our club who is not riding at the
moment.

I meant that the KH should be on the trials/steet uni, and the Miyata
should be on the freestyle. It's just odd to see the beefed up trials
uni with the Miyata, beside a skinny freestyle uni with the obese KH
saddle. If truth be told, i ride my street/trials uni with a Miyata
saddle, it's just weird to see it beside a KH-freestyle combo. I was
just kidding around though. I know that it's pretty common to use those
configurations.

I realized you were just having fun. :)­

The boy who owns the Torker freestyle wanted to upgrade his OEM Torker
saddle (can't blame him) so he went with the KH for comfort. Ben's
trials is about 3½ years old so is equipped with the "vintage" Miyata
saddle. The Miyata is actually of the Chinese era that we bought during
UNICON in Seattle in 2002. We found an Japanese plastic era front
handle to replace the Chinese era handle that lasted, oh, about two
jumps.

Bruce,
Great display! I'm very impressed.

Good idea for other clubs to use too...

Nothing yet. The display went up over last weekend. We have club
tonight so we'll see if we get any feedback.

Excellent display. You even managed to squeeze a picture of me in there!
But I'm mixed in with a bunch of other riders, so the display looks good
anyway.

Please let us know what kind of inquiries it generates!

Yep. I see you in front of the 10K pack, white shirt, yellow sleeves.
Only Ben is in front of you (red shorts) :)­ yet behind Isaiah. Ben
wouldn't finish up that way though because he tangled his shoelaces in a
pedal and it took him many, many minutes to get it loose. Jerry from
Rochelle is immediately to your left in the lesser orange and Brad is
two to your right, barely visible except for his Camelbak straps across
his white shirt.

I remember Isaiah really ripped up the course that year.
