Velocipede Rider

You know sometimes on the birdsite people would confuse me with @erlendloe if they took pictures of someone commuting via unicycle in Olso.

But honestly we are nothing alike. I have a fluorescent jacket and he wears a helmet.

We are totally different! 😡

This is a passing reference to @unimyra and myself regarding this confusion in @erlendloe's fantastic book about how he started unicycling.

A book I throughly recommend I might add, if you can read Norwegian.

The book "Forhandle med virkeligheten - ett år på ett hjul" (Negotiating with reality - one year on one wheel) by Erlend Loe. He is on the cover holding a large wheeled unicycle.
Photo of a page from Erlend's book. This is the translated text (with the original afterwards) 🇬🇧 After months of thinking I was alone, I made contact with two other Oslo based unicyclists. It didn't happen because I saw other unicycle tracks in the sand on a desolate island, but because of Twitter. Someone had seen me riding a unicycle on the road and posted the photo on Instagram, then tagged someone other than me. The misunderstanding was investigated and after a few words there were suddenly at least three of us who were doing this in the capital. That makes me happy. Both are more experienced than me. One has been doing it since he was a teenager, he cycles to the office and everywhere else. The other has been doing it for ten years and rides a few times a week. ---- Etter at jeg i månedsvis har trodd jeg er alene, får jeg kontakt med to andre oslobaserte enhjulssyklister. Det skjer ikke fordi jeg ser andre enhjulsspor i sanden på en ode øy, men foregår via Twitter. Noen har sett meg sykle enhjuling på gaten og lagt ut bildet på Instagram og tag- get en annen enn meg. Misforståelsen utredes og vi er med andre ord plutselig minst tre som driver med dette i hovedstaden. Det blir jeg glad av. Begge er mer erfarme enn meg. Den ene har holdt på med det siden han var ungdom, han sykler til kontoret og overalt. Den andre har holdt på i ti år og sykler noen ganger i uken.
