Unicycle Tour To Roosevelt Island Update - And Some Tricks Too



You Tube Video of Roosevelt Island Unicycle Tricks

An update to yesterday's post on Roosevelt Island Unicycle Tour. Starting from Brooklyn, the Unicyclist's rode the 5 miles to the Roosevelt Island Bridge. From there, according to Unicycle NYC Tour Bridge bloggers:
...There was a large construction site set up at Roosevelt Island bridge. To the right of the entrance was a radar controlled 'your speed it' sign. Time trials soon began. Kyle Petersen had the fastest time at 11MPH - pretty impressive on a 20"! We crossed the bridge and took the circular ramp down onto the island. We pedaled along Main Street to the subway station where I my sculpture sits. I asked the attendant if we could take our picture in front of the sculpture, but he wouldn't let us into the station. I wasn't able get a hold of his supervisor, so we took the picture on the outside of the station looking in through the glass. There we met a friendly gentleman who was impressed Keith was familiar with The King Charles Troupe. We headed over to the east channel to take some better pictures of the Roosevelt Island bridge and to perform some tricks for kids who had cut school...
Below is the route they took from Williamsburg through Greenpoint and Long Island City to Roosevelt Island. Click on map image for enlarged view.


I've done this route several times, but on foot, not unicycle.
