There was a guy in Killington Vermont who used to ride his unicycle (carrying his snowboard and backpack) about 4 or 5 miles up the Access Road to work everyday. He started riding the unicycle because he was grinding through rims too quickly on his commuter bicycle. Don't know if he is still there/still riding but he was definitely interesting and had some interesting ideas on keeping his equipment running (for cheap). I used to live there and sometimes worked on his stuff, my commute was from Killington to Rutland (15 miles) but I really think he had me beat big time unicycling up to the Baselodge!
