My friend Steve and his son Tim were in town to visit Bedford Unicycles, and so I thought that I would tag along.
Little did we know that up those stairs would be a treasure trove of all things unicycle.
I thought that the owner, Darren, looked familiar. It turns out that I had seen him just a few weeks ago at the Junction Solstice Festival, when he dropped by the Cycle Toronto booth several times, each time with a more interesting conveyance.
He is very dedicated to promoting unicycling, builds and sells his own machines, and ships to customers all over the world.
In the lower part of this picture, you might notice the very large Hallowe’en themed Lego diorama.
Here are some close ups.
This last bit is not a real Lego set, although it would be no more bizarre than the famous Playmobil Airport Security set.
Darren was also working on a commission from several funeral homes to build models. Here the embalming room and the casket showroom.
The other rooms for visitations and services.
Back to the unicycles. The shoe-bicycle once again.
Tim checks out his birthday present: a giraffe unicycle.
Off to the parking lot for a test ride.
and here is Tim about half an hour after getting home. Go Tim, go!
Although my sense of balance is not what it used to be, I’m intrigued. Maybe a unicycle would only count as half a bike to add to my collection.
Biking in a Big City 
interesting! in a future post, perhaps you can describe a visit to a tandem bike dealer
except that I already have two tandems in the garage!
In your household does a tandom count as two bikes or one? You’d need to be consistent.
I count wheels, not seats.
that’s a fun post, especially that “shoenicycle”…
