Finding Minnesota: Unicycle Dan

One Minneapolis man opts for one wheel over two when it comes to his daily commute, Rachel Slavik reports. WCCO 4 News Weekends - Jan. 29, 2017

That is just rocking cool! For that matter, unicycling is uniquely renewing. There is no way to describe it. I'm looking forward to getting up the endurance for an 8 mile commute..

[@BenMilford]

Did you manage it! It is fun!

[@mlopez2aol]

Inspiring thank you Dan! Cheers from Palm Springs!

[@StallionButter69]

Those are some short cranks

[@caduceus33]

Wow, he really keeps up a fast pace!

[@LuckyO97]

It’s funny, because I still see this dude riding it around daily😂😂

[@gtxhunter9980]

I just thought about a unicycle for my 15 minute walk from apartment to uni classes. Had to see if anyone else was commuting on it.

[@fogrunr5075]

That's a big wheel maybe 36 inches. I think the shorter cranks probably help him get up hills with such a big wheel. He keeps a really quick pedaling tempo. I think he's got the fast twitch muscles.

[@strictlykev311]

Indeed. Also often with a bigger wheel there is longer travel so less control, shorter cranks allow for more maneuverability

[@kssrider6766]

The way he mounted the uni. Wow!!!

[@silviav.9268]

i wonder how long it took him to learn

[@Neeko_Z]

solid legs!

[@suy.4086]

I can't even ride for a quarter mile.

[@Misa_Susaki]

His cranks seem super short. But, nice.

[@bradanorourke]

I was gonna say the same thing

[@strictlykev311]

It’s better when they are short like that for a big unicycle.. it allows for faster rotations on the wheel given that its 36 inches

[@Misa_Susaki]

@@strictlykev311 ah, okay; that does make sense

[@allenu]

Hills must be a pain. I bet you build up your legs real good on them.

[@laopang91362]

Dan, you are doing great!! Do you know Ed Pratt? Your guys should meet.

[@jazaabdullah8846]

size?

[@KandiKlover]

I'd rather ride the DirtySixer 36er for rolling over potholes.

[@aranonhisbike5280]

Check out Ed Pratt. He’d put this guy to shame

[@laopang91362]

They both do great in their own ways. I have met Ed Pratt ... he is an inspiration for sure.

[@thwood40]

Shame? Where's the shame? Why is everything zero sum?

[@onewheelisbetterthan2]

I ride a 32 inch unicycle and it's fast but not this fast. I like things at a much more relaxed pace.
