Mark Beaumont has completed an 18000 mile route around the world to return to Paris, where he started 195 days ago. See the BBC’s Pedaling Around website about his trip.
Congratulations Mark!
Now there’s an idea…
For those not familiar with bike-geek stuff, this is not how a pedal is meant to look.The spiky bit on the top is meant to be bolted to the sole of your shoe. Then you can twist your shoe and it becomes unclipped from the pedal.
But when one of the bolts fails then it becomes impossible to twist the cleat and your shoe is fixed pretty securely to the pedal, however you wiggle it.
Error.
Luckily it was only a few miles away from home.
P.S. Using clip-in (also misleadingly called “clipless”) pedals on a unicycle is ‘a power for the hills’ and generally a pretty cool thing. Why I didn’t try this longer ago I don’t know. But it has risks.
