bike out time

[PRD]

Sadly people have been killed using these

I mastered the hoverboard in 15 minutes. Found it really easy. Not sure why, just did. The unicycle is a whole other ball game. Really had to stick with it. The secret is, when riding a bicycle slowly, you twist the front wheel left and right. You need to do the same on the unicycle until your brain figures it out. Just like learning to ride a bicycle as a child but a bit harder. Got there in the end. Has a range of about 15 miles, top speed 20kph.

Got it for stupid price on ebay from one of the guys in that video. Intend to ride it mostly in France where anything goes and there are very few people about.

People have been killed riding motorcycles. Yet I still do it 44 years later. I ride the unicycle at the equivalent of a person jogging slowly and keep a strap on it so that if anything happens it doesn't hit someone on the shins. I also stayed well away from people with it until I was as confident of not falling off as I am on a bicycle. Common sense.
You do get some odd looks, though.

Update :- Got a phone call this evening from my local MLA (MP) to tell me the legislation on electrically assisted pedal cycles passed on Tuesday.

Step 1 of lockdown being lifted here on Monday 18 May.

Two bits of good news, Roger.

Yes indeed

Well some of the shackles are off here ... we can now meet in groups of up to 6 outdoors... so our (4 of us) plan is to ride out on Thursday as the forecast is fair

That is good we are only allowed to meet one other, not part of our family outdoors but must keep our distance.

That's certainly how it is supposed to be, but on my three recent ride outs I've often come accross groups of between two and six bikes riding together. I'm not going to judge, I suppose it is up to us all individually to make a decision based on common sense. My only worry is that if sense was common, there would be more of it.
