oh bicicletas!

Feeling pleased with myself today, as I rode to work and back, around 30k. And still fine this evening. I saw some funny sights on the bike tracks too - someone riding a (homemade?) unicycle that had a normal bike sized wheel. How did he get onto the thing? And he was riding it up a steep hill - good on you, unicycle guy. 


The other rider I saw was on a recumbent bike covered with a green perspex casing. It looked very strange and hilarious and was turning heads around Lake Burly Griffin. 


There are some pics of something similar here: http://www.retrothing.com/2011/01/pedal-cars-for-adults.html


Apparently they are also called velomobiles. 


So it wasn't just the exercise endorphins that had me laughing on my way to work.
