Unicycle Gang
The motley crew crossing the street
Unicyclists waiting for the light to change
Holy crap. The most surreal scenario just went down outside the fed. I was getting off the bus, and at that exact moment, this horde of unicyclists comes swarming down the sidewalk right where I was getting off. I was totally surrounded - engulfed by unicyclists. Who does this? It wasn't like a parade of rennaissance festival type juggling freaks or anything. There were all different ages of people, but one Dad-age guy and one Mom-age woman. So it may have been a Mormon-esque unicycle cult family. Maybe it was just a class or something.
The Twin Cities has a very large unicycling community (relatively speaking, of course) and even a custom unicycle builder, Paul Wyganowski. I think I remember that there are two unicycling clubs in town, and you don't even have to be Mormon to join!
