Ian Degenhardt - Unicycler

Ever since I was born my parents thought I belonged in the circus. Maybe they felt they lived in a circus. I always wanted a unicycle, and last year for Christmas I got one!

I kept practicing in my garage because it was winter. The first time I rode for a long distance was when my dad took me to his school gym. I remember being so proud of riding to the other end of the gym but as I look back, that is so short.

Now I ride to school almost every day on my unicycle. You may have seen me commuting. The next thing I want to do is mountain unicycling, and yes it's exactly what it sounds like - unicycling on mountain bike trails!

Here is a picture of my unicycle wrapped under the Christmas tree, and one of me riding to school last June.
