Making it's New York Unicycle Club debut at the first Sunday of March meeting is the backpedaling unicycle invented and built by Tom Miller of the Unicycle Factory. Tom Miller is the creator of the "Crab cycle" a unicycle that rolls sideways as you pedal and the side by side double wheeler, put together this new one of a kind unicycle  that requires you to pedal backward in order to go forward.

No one else at the meeting demonstrated an ability to ride the new backpedaling unicycle. However, all attendees of the club meeting had a good time riding and hanging out.  Check out the slide show of all of the photos taken at the March meetings.

For the 2011 unicycle year I have chosen over 130 photographs taken at unicycle club meetings and other unicycling events. This year I am featuring The Brooklyn Juggler, Kyle Petersen. 2011 had been quite a year for Kyle. From his law suit against the city of New York, to appearing on the David Letterman and  Colbert Report television shows, to entertaining  us with his Unicycle Action News reports posted on Facebook and YouTube. Kyle Petersen has brought much positive attention to the sport of unicycling and to the New York Unicycle club.

I also have to highlight Ziggy Cohen, who also has had an incredible year of 2011 unicycling. At four years of age he is one of the youngest unicycle riders ever. He appeared in video that has been broadcast  locally as featured on Long Island's TV55 and also nationally including the Cobert Report and the Wendy Williams show. His mom and dad, Adam and Renie,  have recently opened the first of it's kind facility called Just One Wheel. If you were not aware, take a look at my earlier post about  the new Just One Wheel facility a business that is dedicated to the sport of balance.

For more than 40 years the King Charles Troupe has been successfully performing on unicycles  for audiences throughout the globe. There is a video currently being  put together documenting their  44 year history. The video will illustrate the King Charles Troupe's journey from their humble beginnings in the borough of the Bronx, New York City to their travels throughout the United States as well as 14  countries throughout the world. They have truly been global ambassadors for unicycling that have inspired several generations to learn to ride the unicycle. Check out the documentary trailer.
